The Time Is Now

With the end of 2020 in sight, and the Covid19 pandemic still looming, more and more businesses are looking to shift from a traditional SDLC (software development life cycle) to a DevOps model. The following signs are the tell-tale signs that it’s time to shift to DevOps and likely are limiting growth in your organization.

By making the transition to Devops consulting, you’ll avoid these issues, lower the volume of defects, lower the cost of a release, and improve software performance.

THE 6 ISSUES

If you notice any of the following issues in your current process, then it’s time to make the shift and consider DevOps consulting.

  1. There is an inadequate amount of collaboration between the development, testing, system administration, and security teams, which results in slower software delivery and low software quality.
  2. The process of producing new IT infrastructure is too slow and manual based.
  3. There are different environments for the configurations of development, testing, and production.
  4. The infrastructure to make adjustments, fix bugs, and create software updates is unmanageable and cumbersome.
  5. There are post-release errors that alter the user/customer experience/business operations.
  6. The testing methods due to inadequate testing automation are slow and inefficient.

These impediments and constraints can severely handicap a company and the entire technical team.

Consulting only works with experienced professionals. To choose the proper consulting firm, you’ll want to evaluate their level of expertise, industry experience, and your project timeline. Bringing on consultants with specific industry experience can be extremely valuable, but bringing on consultants with a wide range of experiences can produce out-of-the-box thinking and offer creative solutions. This is where your project type and timeline come into play. When determining the consultant approach, consider how long the project will last and how much training compared to actual production will be expected of the consultant. Some consultants are better at producing than training. Having answers to these questions and vetting the consulting agency will ensure the shift and integration gets off the ground smoothly.

WHY CONSULTING

The consultancy approach will help teams release software quicker, offering businesses the ability to achieve more in less time, increasing their bottom line.

By hiring consultants for specific projects, you can pay for the services you need, when you need them.

You won’t have to pay benefits, you won’t run into any human resource issues, and the tax is generally less compared to a full-time employee.

The common misconception of consultants is they are often referred to as seagulls. They swoop in, swoop out, leaving a big mess.

DevOps consultants do the exact opposite.

The job isn’t complete if there is still a mess. The purpose of a DevOps consultant is to release the team of limitations and increase workflows and productivity.

It’s not enough to just bring on consultants to solve issues or bottlenecks. In order for an organization to really increase their bottom line, they need innovation.

Transitioning to DevOps is quite the journey. The only way to make it a success is to choose the right consultants, those that will hold your hand throughout the entire process.
