According to Gartner, High performing organizations that have adopted DevOps are seeing 200 times more frequent
deployments, 3 times lower failure rates, 24 times faster recovery from failures, 2555 times shorter lead times and
spending 22 percent less time on unplanned work and rework.
DevOps enables organizations to increase the speed, efficiency and quality of software delivery. Its equally
important to work with DevOps Consulting Companies who possess considerable experience implementing
DevOps for enterprises. So, let’s look at some of the challenges that organizations are
facing and how DevOps is enabling high performance organizations to overcome them:
Digital disruption:
It’s happening right now, every organization has its own business models. However, business model lines across
organizations are blurring. The toughest competition which an organization may face may not come from the same
industry or even a related industry but may come from a totally different industry. So, the key here is to capture
the business moments which we don’t have control on as it’s either conceived as a risk or opportunity.
This is where a DevOps Consultancy could help organizations be prepared with people, process and tools to capture
these business moments and become industry leaders.
Competitive pressure:
For businesses, customer is GOD. Customer expects speed and responsiveness. Time taken to convert an idea to a
product or service and bring it to market is the key to capturing new business and customers. DevOps helps in
bringing this agility into the organization to quickly convert an idea and bring it to market, continuously listen
to customer feedback and make course corrections to keep the customer happy. Hence, in order to compete,
organizations need to be DevOps ready.
Speed with quality:
Quality is at the heart of any DevOps implementation and is built into the entire system. DevOps helps organizations
increase the quality of products by constantly increasing the level of automation of the delivery process and
working with DevOps teams who constantly deliver small features to get quick customer feedback along with continuous
monitoring to bring in continuous improvements.
Agile alone fails to deliver value:
Agile brings in the IT agility but we still need DevOps for business agility. Agile helps organizations to get early
feedback from customers during the development cycle but DevOps is needed to improve the collaboration, quality and
speed of delivery. Agile practiced along with DevOps helps organizations accelerate their speed to market, become
lean, deliver high quality products and improve customer experience.
Downtime & Rework costs money:
According to Gartner, Organizations who have embraced DevOps have brought down the downtime by 3 times with 24 times
faster recovery times, along with spending 22% less time on unplanned and rework. Organizations can achieve better
business outcomes by reinvesting the time, creativity and energy saved by reducing rework and downtime through
DevOps.
Things to consider:
- Organizations must recognize that DevOps is transformative, and invest time and money in the people and process
aspects of their efforts accordingly. IT leaders must not overemphasize technology at the expense of the other
areas.
- Organizations must first determine the gap between current and target maturity levels
- Changes in training, recruitment practices and management approaches are needed to address skills gaps and, more
importantly, to address collaboration, motivation and trust issues.
- It is important to note that the challenges are not purely technology and tool driven, but also a broad shift in
culture that must extend beyond the organization
