Surprise! Broad Agreement on the Definition of DevOps
For the past few years, the conventional wisdom has been that DevOps has no agreed upon definition. Instead, everyone has their own interpretation. However, the conventional wisdom is wrong.

Overcoming Siebel Complexity to Achieve Agile and Continuous Deployments
Siebel releases are complex. Executing one well is difficult. Extracting databases, migrating SRF repositories, deploying non-repository items and managing all the planned and unplanned outages is no small feat.
