Recent research from VMware showed that APAC organizations that adopted a software-led transformation approach were better positioned to weather the impact of business downturns due to their improved delivery of modern applications. The study also showed that higher growth APAC companies are spending more time on innovation than their lower performing counterparts (49% vs. 44%), with a greater proportion of agile steps in the app development process (58% vs 46%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
