DevOps : Maximize Value from Ideation to End of Life and thereby Revival
We develop custom Software Applications through Cutting Edge Techniques, Practices and Methods that enable Next Generation Product Development. Our delivery Methodologies such as XPEED and Agile enable us to Deliver rapidly and Efficiently providing client specific models. Applying decades of rigor, austerity and commitment, each solution has benefitted in Architect, Build and Test of Products.
DevOps Centre of Excellence supports continuous Application-Server Monitoring, Integration, Log Records and Automation Testing. It augments collaboration with the existing Delivery Chain through effective integration DevOps improves Software Development Lifecycle as Consultants are able to identify and respond precisely to its behavior and relationship with different Tools, Concepts, Logics, Groups, of Software Development and IT operations utilizing quick changes and enhancements as we call Iteration and Enhancements.
Utilizing the Powers of DevOps is not a child's play; it is a Philosophy. Wisdom and Experience plays a key role in identifying what needs to amended or changed since the onus of success and getting right results lies completely with Consultants and Developers. How to deploy codes to Development in an automated and a repeatable way is our notable achievement of our success story.
Our Agile and DevOps practices complement each other meticulously. We have come out with our own methods and processes and practices that has redefined the way development is executed.
How DevOps helped in Bug Reduction, Quick Detection and Faster Correction
The application of DevOps helped us reduce bugs by about 30% and in some cases by about 45%. We were able to develop a better quality apps within the timelines as DevOps helped us to reduce the time taken for Regression Testing. We were also able to reduce the time taken for integration from 2 months to 2 weeks. DevOps considerably helped in reducing the time taken to compute hence the costs of processes. DevOps allows to focus more on Quality of Tasks and Function as it reduces the time taken for operations.
The main Philosophy of DevOps is Automation. If there isn't any automation in Process and Operations then it cannot be included in DevOps. We identified Processes and Tasks to be automated that were earlier carried out manually. With DevOps environ, the Development processes are automated as against earlier when all development work had to be done from scratch. The assurance of quality is increased, testing time is decreased, and the frequency of release and upgrades has increased. Some of the tasks and Procedures that were automated include:
- Transition
- Upgrade
- Maintenance
- Validation of Data
- Support
- Testing
- Deployment
- Configuration
- Set up
There has a been improvement in both communication and collaboration right from Planning till Delivery and Automation of Delivery Processes. Our DevOps Centre of Excellence is a blend of our Culture, Tools and Practices. It has evolved over the period of time as we strive to bridge gaps and break down walls within the various phases of Software Lifecycle via Automation and Collaboration. It is a combination of both Culture and Tools that makes DevOps successful by improving efficiency through Automation.
How DevOps Helped in Faster Time to Market and Cost Reduction
This Oil and Gas Company was in the process of consolidating and migrating its Business Apps to the Cloud. It focused on Cloud to optimize costs and increase speed to market. It wanted migrating existing on-premise applications to Azure Cloud and replacing them with a growing number of new SaaS apps. We suggested and implemented DevOps to leverage their current IT infra investment over Oracle SOA, by integrating Azure to provide an Enterprise class, Hybrid platform to solve their existing and future integration demands.
As a trusted Partner, People's Techno supported them to upgrade their Oracle Midware environ to SOA Suite 12c and create a Midware running on the Cloud.
It provided the development team with the efficiency they needed to rapidly deliver on new projects the business required. This DevOps theory put into practice made way for faster project start up time and improved developer productivity. The end-to-end upgrade was delivered in 60 man days, revolutionizing what typically is a resource intensive process into one, which was Fast, Precise and low on risk. Manually, this effort was estimated to take 200 man days. What was once a 7 month project was delivered in about 2 months, achieving ~30% faster go to market.
