DevOps
Streamlining development and operations
DevOps opens up transformational possibilities. Meeting at the intersection of development and operations, DevOps is about aligning your teams, processes and technologies to deliver more value in less time.
Why DevOps?
DevOps is an approach designed to address the limitations of traditional waterfall-style software development and deployment methods in IT organizations. Where functions such as development, operations, quality control, and security were once siloed, DevOps brings these teams together – eliminating communication barriers, inefficiencies, and manual processes that are prone to errors and delays. It creates speed while enabling agility, resulting in an organization that is better positioned to reliably deliver what its customers need, fast.
Beyond processes, a DevOps culture allows you to better align your development and operations teams with shared business objectives. Start building, testing, and deploying new ideas in days rather than months. And thanks to iterative development, continuous testing, and rapid feedback loops, you can expect better outcomes. It’s a competitive edge IT organizations cannot afford to miss out on.
Advantages with DevOps
