Organisations face challenges as they turn to DevOps to improve collaboration: • 68% of organisations have implemented or are exploring the possibilities of a DevOps culture to improve collaboration and drive faster innovation • 74% of CIOs said that DevOps efforts are often being undermined by the absence of shared data and tools, which makes it difficult for IT teams to obtain a single view of ‘the truth’ • 56% of CIOs identified differences in priorities between departmental siloes as an additional barrier to DevOps adoption “The challenge for all organisations is to get a holistic view of the DevOps pipeline: from code to experience. As DevOps has matured, enterprises are looking to automate and integrate their software development to release faster, with higher quality and with less manual effort. It’s exciting to see AI play an even greater role in reducing manual tasks so we can do what we love: write better software, deploy with speed and deliver perfect software experiences.” As enterprises strive to accelerate innovation without putting customer experience at risk, it is critical for CIOs to establish a BizDevOps approach that gives IT teams real-time feedback, collaborative tools and software intelligence. This information must be democratised to fuel closer collaboration and enable a culture where the teams that build digital services have equal responsibility for running them; allowing them to take pride in the impact their efforts have on the business and its customers. n www.intelligentcio.com
