Traditional organisations are often seen to be lagging behind in delivering innovation at pace. DevOps empowers organisations to break the barriers in the delivery cycle and to deliver more and more, often in a given time slice.
The new methods also offer internal benefits – improved efficiency and productivity, reduced costs and a boost to innovation. DevOps practices inculcate organisational habit to innovate and accelerate by shortening provisioning and release cycles, and by giving a much needed focus and boost to product observability and resilience.
DevOps and cloud are highly complementary – both are drivers of business agility and cost efficiency.
DevOps transformation sits very comfortably with cloud for several reasons, including:
- The inherent ability to spin up/scale up/down and tear down infrastructure and platform resources expedites transformation.
- The availability of cloud-managed continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and monitoring tools that are cost-effective and quick to implement.
GFT has proven methods that offer a guided journey to DevOps success.
We have established patterns and transformation accelerators that optimise the journey. We also have a deep, practical understanding of the patterns, antipatterns and likely iterations involved. No two customers are alike but many processes are common, particularly in heavily regulated areas, such as financial services.
