First Technology Digital, South Africa\u2019s preferred partner for Digital Transformation, digital\nworkplaces and Artificial Intelligence, has been successful in its attainment\nof Gold-level\nstatus for the Microsoft DevOps competency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This latest achievement sees the\ncompany adding to its existing Gold cloud platform expertise, which currently\nincludes application development, collaboration and content, data\nanalytics, and datacentre competencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Kendall, Business Unit Manager at First Technology Digital, said: \u201cOrganisations\nare under increasing pressure to create new products and improve existing ones\nat a faster pace than ever before. By\nusing a DevOps model, they are able to circumvent lengthier traditional software development approaches, enhancing speed and efficiencies\nacross IT functions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According\nto Kendall, benefits delivered by DevOps include shortened cycle times, faster value\ndelivery, improved quality and availability, optimised resources, the\nelimination of waste and greater innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\nstatement is reinforced by the findings of IT automation software company,\nPuppet, which released a white paper entitled the 2017 State of DevOps Report, which\nrevealed that high performing organisations have 46 times higher software\ndeployment frequencies, 440 times faster lead time for changes and a five times\nlower software change failure rate than lower performance competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
