“DevOps” is the latest rage.  Leading edge companies like Netflix, Etsy, and Intuit (the “Unicorns”) have transformed their I.T. Development and Operations organizations into a new culture known as DevOps:  Development and Operations working collaboratively together to accelerate the pace of software and application delivery.  But they didn’t implement DevOps.  A DevOps transformation to their culture was the outcome of their implementation of continuous delivery of software.  Continuous delivery is a process that applies automation and orchestration technologies to the application lifecycle.  In this webinar you will learn how your organization can implement continuous delivery as a step toward your own DevOps transformation.  With continuous delivery, you can accelerate application delivery which will allow I.T. to better meet the needs of the organization.  With continuous delivery, I.T. becomes a business enabler.
