Download the full report at: "We feel it is quite an honor to be named by Gartner as an ARA leader two years in a row," said Steve Brodie, CEO of Electric Cloud. "We continuously add new features that our customers request with our sights set on providing the most complete, unified ARA platform in the industry." Automation, Modeling and Release Coordination "The primary objective for DevOps toolchain orchestration is to ensure the DevOps delivery pipeline is managed in line with business priorities," noted George Spafford and Joachim Herschmann in a July 2017 Gartner research report.* "This means releases must be visible to all members of the DevOps team, including business stakeholders. This visibility is also used to identify bottlenecks and delays, as well as areas where effort, cost and time can be saved. The orchestration of the pipeline should still provide the flexibility to embrace agile practics. It should also provide a level of control that ensures that activities adhere to corporate business guidelines (for example, security and compliance regulations)." Accelerate Digital Transformation "At SOMOS, we decided to move off of our 30-year-old mainframe application, responsible for managing over 41 million toll-free numbers in North America. One of many challenges was how to modernize and build a DevOps culture and environment for SOMOS while simultaneously moving to a microservices architecture," said Gary McKay, scrum master at SOMOS. "We chose Electric Cloud's ElectricFlow because of its support for both containerized and mainframe workloads, and because it can coordinate delivery of those workloads safely across all our development and production environments. The results have been stunningly positive." For more information about ElectricFlow and to download the free Community Edition, please visit: (http://electric-cloud.com/products/electricflow).
