Nexient, a leading provider of 100% US, 100% Agile software services, today announced its inclusion in Gartner’s first-ever Market Guide for Agile and DevOps Services.
According to Gartner*,
“This model overcomes the challenges of distributed agile by delivering projects from centers in the same country as the customer, but in smaller cities where labor costs are lower. Proponents argue that since both business stakeholders and development teams are working in the same time zone and share a common culture, many of the communication difficulties in distributed agile can be overcome.”
“US businesses are looking for new ways to drive revenue, design great customer experiences and accelerate to market,” said Mark Orttung, Nexient CEO. “Nexient’s Agile approach makes this possible by collaborating in real-time with world-class developers right here in America.”
While headquartered in Silicon Valley, Nexient’s delivery centers are based in Midwestern cities like Ann Arbor, Michigan and Kokomo, Indiana. Nexient runs Agile boot camps for clients as well as its own staff, and often builds hybrid teams of Nexient and client developers to accelerate Agile adoption. The company specializes in supporting clients transitioning to a product-minded development approach—tapping insights, methodologies and metrics from consumer tech product development, rather than traditional IT project management.
Gartner has predicted**:
Gartner has identified more than 200 service providers with an “agile” or “DevOps” practice, and notes*
“New vendors emerge every week. It is therefore easy for buyers to find a service provider that offers agile. The challenge is to find one that does it well.”
“In a cluttered marketplace, CIOs will welcome this guidance on selecting the right partner to help drive their Agile and DevOps agenda,” said Orttung.
