Enhanced Software Pipelines in the Cloud: How Cloud Computing Boosted Orders by 14,000% in a multinational business
Increased agility as you respond faster to changing requirements and demands by enabling fast provisioning of resources in a flexible and dynamic environment.
Enhanced scalability as you scale resources up and down depending on use and demand.
Accelerated automation of tasks such as provisioning, testing and monitoring.
High availability, disaster recovery and improved security including firewalls, encryption and access control to protect resources in the cloud.
Lower costs as the need for on-prem infrastructure, labor and IT resources decreases.
Our Cloud Computing platform — a blend of code, software and tools
can hold multiple products and can be virtually cut and pasted into new geographical locations in a couple of weeks, with relatively simple modifications for local security and compliance needs.
It can have a remarkable effect. For one very large enterprise, we were able to lower software deployment time from 50 days down to multiple deployments every day, giving their team much more time to think about business issues rather than tech issues.
It used to take them six months to create a new application for deployment. Now they can do it in under a month.
Some lessons to
keep in mind
- When you need to scale services, choose an optimal engineering approach instead of simply growing the team.
- Optimize the team’s structure to become lean and agile, with a constant focus on engineering.
- Don’t try to change legacy mindsets or upend the status quo unless you have metrics to make your case.
- Embrace operations to make a digital transformation stick for the long run.
