Maximizing Software Development’s ROI: Forrester’s TEI Study of Docker Business

Docker’s commitment to empowering developers and organizations is evident in its ongoing investment in the Docker Business subscription, which includes Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout. Through collaborative efforts with a vibrant user community and customers, Docker has pioneered best practices and innovations that significantly streamline application development workflows. 

Today, Docker Business — Docker’s solution that supports organizations of every size in optimizing DevOps, CI/CD, debugging, and IT processes — marks a significant step in enhancing enterprise development efficiency. The recent Forrester Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study commissioned by Docker underscores for us the measurable benefits experienced by Docker Business users, including accelerated development agility, reduced time-to-market, and substantial cost savings.

Maximizing resource efficiency with Docker 

Docker Business transforms the developer experience by simplifying workflows across multiple development phases. While its prowess lies in optimizing DevOps, CI/CD, and IT processes, Docker’s solution does this by consistently supporting a higher quality and more intuitive management experience for seamlessly packaging, distributing, and executing applications across diverse computing environments.

This way of offering a combined developer interface and toolset makes creating containerized applications easier. This approach also reduces complications linked to separate solutions and old-style virtual machines (VMs), making data centers work more efficiently.

Enhanced security and rapid deployment

Security remains a pivotal focus for Docker Business, employing robust measures like isolation and encryption to safeguard applications and data. The streamlined development cycles enabled by Docker Business expedite application deployment and testing, fostering a culture of innovation and agility within enterprises.

Key insights from the Forrester TEI™ Study

Forrester conducted comprehensive interviews with representatives from top global technology manufacturers, consolidated and referred to as a composite organization, uncovering Docker Business’s capacity to tackle issues associated with slow legacy systems and costly VM dependencies. The study also shows compelling statistics highlighting Docker Business’s impact on the composite organization:

• 6% increase in application developer productivity
• Improved DevOps engineer-to-developer ratio from 1:20 to 1:60
• 3x reduction in servers due to increased VM density
• 3 months faster time-to-market for revenue-generating applications

Embrace Docker Business for transformational outcomes

The transformative potential of Docker Business is evident in its effective resolution of legacy system challenges and dependency on traditional VMs with a secure and flexible development platform built to ensure enterprises, teams, and developers’ success. Docker Business opens the door to remarkable benefits for organizations by enhancing developer velocity, accelerating development agility, reducing time-to-market, and delivering substantial cost savings to the business.
