Excerpt:

"Monetary savings of up to $1 to $2 million per year were identified by 40% of the survey participants. Respondents identified monetary savings through decreased wait time for builds, a faster time-to-market delivering competitive advantages and eliminating the creation and maintenance of internally developed tools to deliver Software Production Management solutions.

Headcount savings were identified as a major contributor to the purchase of Software Production Management tools. Management redirected headcount from tactical to strategic activities. All participants want to deliver more strategic value to their customers. Incorporating Software Production Management solutions gave organizations a way to move engineers from manual and error prone tasks to delivering more valuable business insight and more productivity with the same or fewer resources.

Productivity increases of as much as 10 – 15X were identified by 33% of the respondents. Increased demand is driven by increased complexity in the software under development, faster time-to-market based on competition and the demand for higher quality from customers. Organizations reported that staffing remained largely static, however, the demands and expectations of their workloads increased significantly."
