The last year has showed us that the world doesn't and can't stop (at least not for long) for anything. You still need to deliver customer outcomes like you always have - better, faster and cheaper, but now within an environment of greater uncertainty, workplace flexibility and decentralised teams.
As organisations come to terms with the new norm, many have transformed to embrace distributed locations, new ways of working, and enabling technology platforms. IT and development teams have been no exception. Organisations that rely on IT and developer innovation to fuel their business and customer value have aggressively adopted DevOps as a cornerstone approach, supported by remote working tools and Cloud platforms.
For these organisations, DevOps provides the means for distributed teams to be efficient and flexible, with feedback loops helping them optimise workflows. Remote working tools and Cloud platforms, support the new ways of working, decoupling teams from the constraints of needing to be in a set location.
In this presentation, Aravindh shares the lessons Equinox IT has learned from years of delivering DevOps and Cloud transformation services to clients, to help you and your IT team on your own change journey. While DevOps is key to driving the new ways of working for many IT teams, he shows that it takes an approach of putting people over process over platform to achieve successful transformation and deliver the required customer value in a decentralised working world.
