Clients can start the DevOps journey from several starting points

Upgrades Agile

Run SAP
Like a Test
Factory Automation
A DevOps approach for enterprise applications can help overcome
obstacles using automation, standardization and increased
frequency
Key Constraints DevOps Solutions for EA engagements
 Automate Dev/Test platform provisioning & configuration
Environment Availability
 Rationalize # of platforms to reduce risk

 Automate & standardize deploy process

Deployment
 Repeatable, reliable & scalable

 Automate testing
Test Set Up & Run
 Catch bugs earlier (shift left)

Governance Issues  Implement Release Management Process

 Use Agile to develop higher quality code faster

Development
 More frequent code updates – fail faster
 Summary

 Implementing all of DevOps Capabilities is a journey

 Get a complete DevOps readiness done

 Then prioritise the gaps

 Plan an implementation roadmap

 Significant benefit can be achieved incrementally
