DevOps Delivers: A Case Study
Development and operations groups play equally important roles and must synchronize their work to enable organizations to rapidly produce software products and services. The awareness of this has resulted in the development of the operating principles known as "DevOps."
The digital economy calls for inside-out exposure of core business processes across the enterprise to enable the seamless integration of data across partner ecosystems, social computing platforms, hyperconnected customers, and self-learning machines. More than ever, today’s digital world forces enterprises to quickly course-correct their business strategies and operating models to stay afloat. Course-correcting strategies and changes in operating models call for a robust foundation that is nimble and agile enough to adapt to both internal and external changes.
As organizations ramp up their Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives over the next few years, the huge volumes of sensor data generated by connected devices, machines, people, and processes is going to provide considerable opportunities for analytics and automation. Combined with data from enterprise and industrial systems, and mobile, social, and other sources, sensor data, when analyzed, will help companies better understand how customers use their products and respond more appropriately to their needs. But just how experienced are organizations with managing and analyzing sensor data?

The goal of architects is not to create works of art that pander to the need for certainty and control, but to deliver frameworks that provide the context to question, poke, and prod. The goal is to surface concerns, bring out possibilities, and expand, at least a little, into the vast darkitecture that envelops the visible enterprise of architecture.
