DevOps Services
Assess software development and operational maturity to accelerate app delivery and improve reliability/security.
Measure your current software development and operational maturity and develop a strategy for where and how to apply DevOps approaches to accelerate your application delivery and improve your operational reliability and security posture. A typical DevOps model works by ensuring that development and operations teams are no longer partitioned. In fact, usually, these two teams are merged into one, where the engineers work across the entire life cycle of the application, from development and test to deployment and operations.

Embracing DevOps methodologies requires a holistic effort and a fundamental change from current IT procedures. Substantially different from older offshoring programs to cut costs, DevOps is about investing in existing staff to significantly increase productivity and velocity. Accomplishing this change requires a careful assessment of the current state, gap analysis, solid strategy to reach the desired end goal, and strong leadership to get there. A strategic approach to achieving a successful DevOps environment includes the following components that cover people, process, and technology.
Establish a vision and mission or the endeavor, define goals and plan expected return on investments through suitable metrics.
Identify business goals related to product releases and the challenges in current release cycles to achieve desired objectives of business and technology teams; establish most impactful areas to the enterprise.
Find out the current level of maturity of the enterprise across people, process and Technology categories to identify pain points
Review and document existing software development lifecycle - design, code, deliver, test, deploy - including workflow, topology, and challenges; record manual, ad-hoc, and inconsistent processes.
Prioritize future focus areas in alignment with enterprise goals and create a vision for the future state of people, Process and Technology
Prepare for disruption in roles, workflow, and culture; invest in change management experts and leadership; build plans for cross-department communications and goal alignment; anticipate needs for new resources where skill sets are missing
Translate the version of the future state into a plan of action across the identified focus
Define full scope of end-state operations including: DevOps practices, communications and collaboration planning, infrastructure as code (IaC) processes, automated testing, and streamlined release management; identify continuous development, integration, testing, deployment, and operations tools
Acquire initial tools and infrastructure; pilot 1-2 applications to test DevOps concepts; calculate metrics and impact; share success with broader organization.
Implement the roadmap with periodic monitoring of identified metrics and continuously refining the roadmap.
Develop metrics across the full DevOps application lifecycle to track progress such as process productivity, and speed of deployment versus defect leakage; define success parameters; measure current state as baseline for future comparisons and evidence-based improvements.
