IT Zoom, Germany: Cognizant’s Vice President of Quality Engineering and Assurance Says Businesses Should Look at DevOps to Reduce Product Delivery Cycles to Days or Even Hours

“Before tapping into more complex opportunities for the business using DevOps, it is important to ensure that some basic steps are followed when it comes to implementation,” says Andreas Golze. “While much of what is said about DevOps focuses on the rapid and even continuous deployment of applications, the information it uncovers about the behavior of an organization’s infrastructure and customers is just as important.” Excerpts:

“DevOps uncovers those insights by combining two, historically siloed sources of information — structured data and unstructured data.

DevOps can help correlate machine data — in the form of log files with structured data — with site, product and transaction tables, along with CRM, ERP and BI data. The aggregation and analysis of various data are primary business values delivered by DevOps.

To free up in-house staff for value-added work, organizations should consider partner organizations with DevOps skills that can take advantage of existing tools to observe, control and monitor, data warehousing/BI infrastructure wherever possible and provide third-party tools and boutique services, such as value-added consulting.

If a business is not moving toward a DevOps strategy, it is leaving business insights and user data unused. Moreover, it is losing the immediate business value of improving its infrastructure, customer experience and product and service offerings to minimize operational costs and maximize revenue.

Achieving all these benefits does not require a disruptive “big bang.” Nor does it require the purchase and deployment of an expensive toolset.

The tools and skills required for DevOps can be purchased as-a-service, freeing existing staff to focus on analyzing and acting on the real-time business insights generated by DevOps.”
