Visualisations 101

Visualisations, if done right, can do just that. They have the ability to tell a story through the images displayed by guiding users toward a conclusion about their data and empowering them to make a decision based on that.

You wouldn’t write a book without a riveting plotline, would you? So don’t leave your data out in the cold without a story to back it up. But where do you start? How does storytelling work through visualisations?

Why Continuous Deployment is critical to your digital transformation strategy

The application economy poses several challenges to a digital transformation strategy. To truly capitalize on the opportunity, organizations like yours have to think bigger than small-scale augmentations or throwing more resources at the problem. Such “solutions” might work in isolated cases, but they’ll never move the needle enough or drive competitive differentiation. With Continuous Deployment, you can transform and accelerate the SDLC, so complex deployments occur in hours or minutes, not weeks or days.

Meeting Market Demands for Delivery of Innovative, New Application Services

Dysfunction Junction: A Pragmatic Guide to Getting Started with DevOps

There has been growing buzz about DevOps. DevOps is a methodology that unites the often separate functions of software development (Dev) and production and operations (Ops) into a single, integrated, and continuous process. DevOps is about breaking down the barriers between Dev and Ops. It leverages people, processes, and technology to stimulate collaboration and innovation across the entire software development and release process.

Dev and Ops should always be part of an integrated process, but that’s not always as easy as it sounds. You may be stuck in what we call “Dysfunction Junction.” Read this eBooklet to learn about the pitfalls of DevOps, how you can avoid them, and how to get started on your DevOps journey.

The Connected Consumer: The Role of IT in the Digital Industrial Revolution

DevOps helps drive continuous collaboration with the end-customer, gaining further visibility into online and mobile application usage and its effect on the brick-and-mortar experience. The data your company can derive from this collaboration should be used to continuously validate assumptions made earlier in the development process.

Today’s empowered consumers have high expectations for the companies they do business with. They expect real-time communication, instant information, and the ability to connect in multiple ways. And they want it to be simple. A DevOps approach can help to accomplish this.

DevOps and Enterprise Mobile: An eBook from the Editors of FierceMobileIT

Mobile applications could be considered a blessing and a curse for enterprise IT.

On one hand, the smaller, more discreet functionality implied by most (though not all) mobile apps offers to help IT continue to break from its past history of monolithic applications, scope creep, and so on.

That’s something mobile has in common with DevOps – the mosh pit of development/deployment/operations that pushes companies toward automation, continuous deployment of small updates, and generally a more holisitic view of how software applications work in a business setting.
