Most organizations share a common complaint with IT department. The dreaded IT industry “lag” is the length of time it takes for departments to receive their IT technology. The lag can be attributed to several common causal factors, chiefly IT staff members, who often spend a great deal of time customizing IT resources and network services to match each request. This process affects the methodology of an agile project, delaying innovation and productivity.

At Derex, our goal is to help redefine this gap in productivity. We aim to help IT departments envision the cost savings, productivity improvements, and economic agility benefits they can attain by focusing on three goals.
