Logicalis US: Dev-Ops is Taking Center Stage Among Software ProvidersNEW YORK, April 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dev-ops is taking center stage among software providers, particularly as software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery models speed developers' go-to-market capabilities. With fierce competition, software providers are focusing intently on the continuous optimization of their products, and according to Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), they are seeing the value in outsourcing business-critical infrastructure, managed services and the automation of key IT operations that are outside their core competency to skilled third-party partners. "The most savvy software developers are quickly realizing that the work they put into developing new versions or continuous improvements to their software can be accomplished much faster and more cost effectively when they take stock of their core strengths and focus their time and attention on what they do best – building software – relying on a trusted partner for everything else," says Ryan McNees, Solution Provider Practice Leader, Logicalis US. "The key is for software providers to leverage technology to improve their businesses, and in many cases, that means operationalizing their development processes so they can build, test and release new versions and upgrades on the fly without having to manage the technology they use to get there." As a result, it's important to select a solution provider partner that can, through the deployment and management of technology, help the software provider create an end-to-end dev-op solution that integrates IT tools and services with ITIL processes. By outsourcing these back-room tasks to a trusted partner, software developers can concentrate on innovation, bringing new versions and updates to market faster and more efficiently than ever before.
