DevOps represent efficiency and creation of value
Today ’ s IT solutions can manage ever-increasing data volumes and adaptations while providing stability and security . This means that most organizations must spend a lot of resources on ensuring continuous maintenance and upgrading of their IT systems .
In this context , it is becoming increasingly common to use a so-called DevOps method ( a shortening of the words “ Development and Operations ”, ed . To ensure faster and more automated development processes .
DevOps aim to make the processes of development more effective , and not so clearly distinguish between those who develop and those who manage the systems . – We move away from situations that create prosecutions and cooperate constructively , explains Jon Petter Hjulstad . He is the head of the SYSCO Integration & Intermediary Department , and is responsible for a number of deve- lopment and integration projects for the company ’ s customers .
Hjulstad says that DevOps create less distances between the various departments and expertise , for a more efficient process to develop new products and quickly deploy them . – It ’ s a lot about culture , says Hjulstad . He thinks that the best solution for this initiative is to start step by step and look for areas where there is the most improvement potential or it ’ s most critical . Eventually this can be expanded into new solutions .
Sysco has extensive experience in both development and integration , and works extensively with Oracle Fusion Middleware and Open Source . Sysco is also a partner with Confluent and is increasingly working with Kafka , where the company has also contributed code to the Open Source solution . This applies to all types of development , and it works with various types of integration and application development that automates the construction of new solutions . The goal is to make projects faster , but at the same time maintaining operational safety , Hjulstad explains . – We see that this is a very efficient workform , and therefore also experience a growing interest in this kind of solutions , concludes Jon Petter Hjulstad .
