DevOps consulting<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Deliver faster without losing quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We analyse your toolchain from requirement to release and develop a target picture with you. Whether Atlassian, OpenText or a combination: we recommend what suits your teams and requirements.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tBook a consultation appointment\n<\/a>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Typical situations<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

When DevOps consulting pays off<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Delivering software quickly, reliably and in high quality is a competitive factor. Difficulties usually arise at the transitions between requirements, development, testing, release and operations.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Long lead times<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Coordination, waiting times and manual steps delay every release.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Lack of transparency<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The status of requirements, tests and releases cannot be traced end to end.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Limited automation<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Recurring tests and deployments still run by hand, and errors are found late.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

The toolchain is up for decision<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Atlassian Data Center ends in 2029 and the tools have grown over the years. You are looking for a sustainable target picture.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our consulting approach<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Five phases to better software delivery<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We start with your business goals and the actual situation. We do not assume any particular platform.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

01<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Analyse<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We look at the flow from requirement to delivery: processes, roles, toolchain, test strategy and key figures.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

02<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Design<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Together we develop a target picture with end-to-end processes as well as quality and release criteria.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

03<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Prioritise<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Measures are assessed by benefit, risk and effort. The result is a roadmap with verifiable goals.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

04<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Implement<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We support test management, test automation, integration and release processes, ideally starting with a pilot area.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

05<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Measure and improve<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Target values are compared with the starting point, for example using the DORA metrics.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

\n \t\t\t

Results<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What you get from the consulting<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Depending on your situation, you receive tangible results on which you can base confident decisions.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Baseline assessment<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A structured analysis of the main bottlenecks, causes and potential.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Target model<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Agreed processes and roles as well as quality and release criteria for development, testing and operations.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Roadmap of measures<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Prioritised, with responsibilities, dependencies and verifiable goals.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Test strategy<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Risk-based, with a clear assessment of what can sensibly be automated.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Toolchain assessment<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

How your tools work together, where information gets lost and which integration adds value.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Key figures<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clearly defined metrics for speed, quality and stability, as a basis for further improvement.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our principles<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

How we advise<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The answer does not lie in new technology alone. What matters is the interplay of processes, people, methods, data and tools.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Set business goals<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The starting point is your goals, for example shorter delivery times, higher quality, lower risks or better predictability.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Processes before tools<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We find the causes of delays and media breaks before technical measures are decided.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Build on what exists<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Existing systems, skills and investments are taken into account. A platform switch is not necessarily required.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Step by step<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Prioritised measures are implemented, reviewed and adjusted where necessary.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Measurable results<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Key figures serve to improve the system as a whole, not to assess individual employees.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Vendor-neutral<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We are partners of Atlassian and OpenText. Even so, our recommendation is based solely on your requirements.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

FAQ<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Frequently asked questions about DevOps consulting<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

Is your advice vendor-neutral?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. We look at existing tools independently of the vendor and do not assume any particular platform. As partners of Atlassian and OpenText, we know both worlds from practice.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Do we have to change our tools?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. Often the bigger lever lies in processes, handovers and automation. A switch is only considered where it clearly adds value.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What does the end of Atlassian Data Center mean?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

From 28 March 2029 there will be no more updates or support. We help you assess the options: Atlassian Cloud, another platform or a hybrid approach. Read more in our article on the end of Data Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Which key figures do you use?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Depending on the situation, for example lead times, deployment frequency, failure rates and recovery times, for instance based on the DORA metrics. Target values are agreed individually.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What does DevOps consulting cost?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

That depends on the scope. After the free initial consultation, you receive a proposal that fits your environment. We do not offer fixed packages.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Do you also handle the implementation?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, on request, from test management and test automation to integration. But you can just as well implement the results with your own team.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
