DevOps: Gaining Speed and Reducing Risk in a New World of Disruptive Technology



http://ow.ly/kRnVm

An article by Lonne Jaffe, posted on the CA Technologies Community Blog.  The article discusses problematic issues related to the implementation of new business software.  The article states, " A recent study found half of business leaders want strategic technology services or software products to be developed and delivered within six months. But talk to the technology leaders surveyed in the same study and only one-third of them said the work could possibly be done in that time frame.

Some attribute these challenges to immature development processes that get in the way of communication and collaboration, hindering progress at a time when heightened competitive pressures, the rise of the digital native and so many disruptive technologies—mobility, consumerization, cloud, Big Data—are demanding more from technology.

Enter DevOps, which focuses on the crucial, often broken communication and collaboration between software developers and technology operations. The concept of DevOps has been around for years, although adoption of some of the more advanced principles is still in its infancy. A recent poll of technology leaders we conducted found that nearly half still don’t even know what DevOps is."

P.S. A link to the referenced survey and poll are both provided in the article.
