For a number of years, DevOps has been one of the industry’s top buzzwords. With all that talk about this relatively new concept, however, it seems like most IT experts still have but a vague idea about DevOps: sure, it helps enhance IT service management (ITSM), but isn’t that what ITIL has been helping us…
Constant innovation is central to building a great product, sounds great doesn’t it?

To be ISO 20000 certified is good for business, why? Because the ISO 20000 service management system (SMS) is the defacto standard for enterprise IT Services Management (ITSM); and as such is not only a sign that the service is of high quality and can be trusted, it is the most widely used and accepted standard…

Similar to any other domain or solution, one size does not fit all. DevOps Teams: Why Does Automation Matter? Before talking about the “dark side” (downsides) of DevOps let’s see…
The question “Is continuous delivery replacing Agile?” is often discussed today. It is frankly an absurd question, with no evidence supporting that it is the case. More often than not the question is raised by Continuous Delivery vendor advocates (targeting developers without an integrated development environment – ALM Software). In actual effect, the reverse is…
