Principles and processes for enhancing collaboration, communications and integration between software developers and IT Operations to rapidly produce/update applications and cloud services

DevOps: Bringing Applications to Market Faster

IT Operations“Be predictable – minimize risk”

Features & code changes

Development“Be more agile - deliver faster”

AgileDevelopment DevOps


“Time scales have compressed, customer expectations have soared, and releasing software daily is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Leading firms are already doing it, and their competitors are racing to catch up.”

Forrester


“By 2016, 40% of application development organizations will have joint initiatives with operations in support of continuous delivery and simplified release management.”

Gartner


Release process is too long

Improve Application Deployment Quality

• Reduce people and process errors through automation

• Ensure consistency of deployment

• Leverage knowledge across stages

• Increase test coverage with additional testing

Achieve application deployment success rates as high as 95%*

“Went from 20%-30% failure rates to 0.15% failure rates for application release processes under automation”

“Prior to automation, applications would be deployed slightly differently across each server. With automation, there is consistency and control”
