When Apple launched their iPhone nearly a decade ago, the proliferation of devices and subsequent innovation of mobile applications brought about an evolution in how everyday consumers interact with their technology. The arrival of their Application Store further created the paradox of choice as consumers found themselves with many options to connect with friends, do their shopping, play games, or navigate for directions.
Fast-forwarding into the present day, you’ll notice that there are many parallel storylines in the enterprise. The arrival of the cloud has invigorated technology professionals to innovate at a far lower cost, creating opportunities for a variety of different and qualified solutions on the market. While this is great for technology leaders, it also presents longer evaluation periods which could delay go-to-market strategies and product launches.
With so much on the line and few options out there, what’s a leader to do?
Introducing DevOps in a Box
At Perficient, we understand the influence of the consumerization of IT and its impact on marketplace transformation. While mobile and tablet consumers now purchase software through app stores, a gap exists on the enterprise level where technology executives lack a similar space to find their DevOps technologies. We’re filling that gap today with DevOps in a Box.
DevOps in a Box represents a paradigm shift, transforming the software development process from a defensive-minded philosophy to an offensive one. Anchored by award-winning DevOps solutions from IBM alongside non-IBM solutions, DevOps in a Box intends to help organizations optimize their digital transformation strategies. Here’s a sample of what’s available:
