Why hire an external DevOps team?

Let me start from SoftwareME first case study in being hired as an external DevOps team.

Company Y, a large financial services firm, was facing challenges in scaling their software development process to meet the demands of their growing customer base. The Company Y had a complex IT infrastructure and was composed of way too much legacy systems. They decided to adopt DevOps principles to improve the speed, efficiency, and quality of their software development process.

The DevOps transformation involved several key steps:

1. SoftwareME team emphasised automation, which helped reduce the manual effort required to manage complex infrastructure. By automating repetitive tasks, our external DevOps team saved time and reduced the risk of recurring errors.
2. Automated testing: SoftwareME lead the way of automation Company Y testing process by implementing continuous integration and continuous testing (CI/CT) pipelines. This helped them identify issues at the early stage in the development process, reduce errors, and improve the overall quality of their software.
3. Data-driven decision making: Company Y used data and analytics to drive their decision-making process. SoftwareMe implemented a monitoring and logging system to track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as deployment frequency, lead time, and mean time to recover (MTTR). This helped Company Y identify bottlenecks, optimise processes, and drive continuous improvement.

The DevOps transformation at Company X resulted in several benefits, including:

Faster time-to-market: By streamlining the release process and reducing manual errors, Company Y was able to deliver software updates more quickly and efficiently, which helped them stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.

Data-driven decision making: By using data and analytics to drive their decision-making process, Company Y was able to identify areas for improvement, optimize processes, and drive continuous improvement.

Five years ago, the Company Y embarked on a groundbreaking journey by transitioning over 5,000 of its technology employees towards DevOps - an innovative approach to software development and delivery.

That's pretty much it! SoftwareME collaboration took 4 years journey in accomplishing integration of multiple DevOps principles and practices.

Answering why Company Y decided to go with external DevOps specialists is they wanted to be focused on their core competencies and strategic objectives. And without a doubt faster implementation. Our external DevOps team provided faster implementation of new technologies and practices. That helped the Company Y stay competitive by quickly implementing new technologies and improving their software development processes by far.
