Logicalis US IDs Eight Ways DevOps Accelerates InnovationNEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Demands on software developers are changing. It used to be that developers released new versions of software once a year, or even every few months if they were really on the ball. Today, however, as-a-service options make it possible to deliver new versions and updates to customers much faster via the cloud. The cloud has also greatly enhanced the development process, which means software developers – also known as independent software vendors (ISVs) – are expected to deliver a steady stream of smaller releases in significantly less time. Doing this requires a systematic re-engineering of development and operations (DevOps) with all the technical, procedural, cultural and personal upheavals those changes entail. This process is well worth the effort, though, according to Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), which has developed a DevOps infographic that identifies the top ways the cloud can facilitate DevOps changes and accelerate innovation within the software developer's organization.

"This makes it tough for the two to see eye to eye when working to implement a DevOps process that speeds time to market for the organization. But with the help of a savvy cloud or SaaS partner, software providers are realizing significant productivity gains in the people, tools and overall culture of their organizations – changes that give them a competitive edge in today's fast-paced software development world."
