DevOps and Agile Go Mainstream

A recent report by Gartner predicts that DevOps will evolve from a niche strategy to a mainstream strategy in 2016. And it is expected that a quarter of Global 2000 organizations will adopt DevOps. This means companies all over the world will be looking for talent who have  knowledge and understanding of DevOps.

We believe that DevOps and Agile offer us a powerful set of principles, guidelines and tools to improve the ability of businesses and nonprofit organizations to serve their stakeholders. Essentially, DevOps and Agile are about delivering value to customers in the form of working IT services that are improved as and when needed by the client. They combine a new way of organizing IT based on intense collaboration, with technical excellence and new cultural norms, to produce high-performance IT service delivery. Using principles derived from Lean - and Lean IT - DevOps and Agile form a powerful force that drives IT in the 21st century.
