ONLY 17% OF IT TEAMS
CAN DELIVER FAST ENOUGH
IT organizations typically
spend more time testing,
deploying and releasing
software than designing
and building it
A high proportion of
production incidents are
a result of human errors
in the manual release
of software
IT Development and IT
Operations have different
values and ways of
working that are often not
in alignment

3. WHAT IF
YOU COULD

• Tests executed in representative
environments automatically
on check-in
• Elimination of regression defects
early in the lifecycle
• Security vulnerabilities identified
at build time
• Changes introduced real time
and trivial to revert
• Managed roll-out of new features
via A/B testing to identify the
impact of releasing it

real-time service management
• New features introduced in days
or hours, not months
• Metric-driven feedback loops
improve productivity and provide
guidance to continuously tune
business services
• Functionality is released on-
demand, independent to release
cycles
