RAPID – Agile Transformation and DevOps

Customers are expecting rapid innovation and shorter time to market from enterprises. While many organizations are focused on developing digital solutions to meet customer experience requirements, the method to develop those leading edge solutions is still legacy. This leads to value leakage due to longer time to market, product-customer expectation mismatch and inefficiencies in the development process.

It is therefore imperative that enterprises embrace Agile and DevOps as part of their Digital Transformation journey to:

  • Drive greater frequency of deliver

  • Create faster business value

  • Drive Business / IT alignment
