History shows us that technology groups and larger enterprises who make steady progress toward maturing application development and IT operations relationships achieve highly positive business results. Quality, testing, automation and collaboration are the prerequisites to DevOps and Continuous Delivery. IT must ensure that applications are always on to support customer needs, all while reducing risk, extracting value, and lowering cost of ownership. With new applications expected to be delivered quicker, there is a demand for continuous delivery of changes—often many times a day. To meet these challenges, traditional applications (apps) development and apps management services organisations must learn to cooperate and collaborate. Implementing the right development approach and better processes dramatically improve the quality of changes entering the release pipeline.
