With DevOps, get new products and features into customers’ hands sooner.
DevOps services unify software development (Dev) and software operations (Ops). Instead of one team finishing their work and “handing it over the fence” to the other team, both teams work together, in tandem, with extensive levels of automation every step of the way.
The goal of DevOps is to speed up software development and create a continuous delivery model whereby software teams deliver new features to users every few hours, days, or weeks versus big intermittent releases that happen every few years or months. Companies are adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) out of competitive necessity; when your competition is enhancing their products on a weekly cadence, you need to, too. Are you ready if a startup disrupts your industry overnight?
Why Adopt DevOps?
- Accelerate innovation. Using DevOps dramatically increases the pace of innovation because software teams can respond far faster to customer needs with new functionality.
- Improve reliability, usability, performance, and security. Because so much of the DevOps process is automated, software reliability improves. Testing is automated, which reduces bugs. Continuous performance improvement becomes part of the application development process. Adding usability and accessibility improvements based on user actions, allows development teams to release updates faster. Any security vulnerabilities discovered can be fixed and deployed faster.
- Move to a predictive development model. As the new-feature / customer-feedback loop tightens, organizations have much greater insight into how customers are using their products and what functionality they need and can deliver new features before customers even know they need them.
