All of us here at Sandhata are so proud to announce that we have won the “DevOps Project of the Year” category at the DevOps Excellence Awards 2020!
Now in its 4th year, the DevOps Excellence Awards celebrate and recognise outstanding achievement from organisations and solutions operating within the DevOps space.
Sandhata, in partnership with Vodafone UK, has been recognised for the innovative TIL Transformation Project, delivered by the Vodafone UK Integration Domain and Sandhata.
Are your mainframe systems holding you back from delivering change?
Does your mainframe testing snowball – taking more time and more resources each project?
Our experience with a wide variety of mainframe clients has shown us that the traditional slow, cumbersome, manual mainframe testing has knock on effects throughout the whole organisation, preventing change from being delivered in a timely manner. Many organisations are hamstrung by the need to test the mainframe systems (the back end) when changing only the front end which means their Agile and DevOps teams are unable to release fast and frequently.
You have already got a “DevOps team” and you are able to deliver projects much more quickly than before. Work is more streamlined and your small teams are empowered to work efficiently and make changes to provide value fast.
But how can you take your team to the next level? How can you deliver even more, better and quicker without pushing your teams too hard?
We are thrilled to be able to share the news that Sandhata Technologies, jointly with Vodafone UK, have been selected as finalists in this year’s Digital Technology Leaders Awards 2020!
The Computing Digital Technology Leaders Awards exist to recognise the achievements of the individuals and companies who are really making it happen at the coal face of the digital technology stack: from website design and coding to UX and project management, from scrum masters and product managers, all the way up to the CDO.
Sandhata, in partnership with Vodafone UK, has been nominated as finalists in 3 categories:
Sandhata launched a donation matching scheme to support the Manavata COVID-19 Emergency Appeal on 14th May 2020. Sandhata pledged to match employee donations to Manavata to provide much needed support in this time of greatly increased social need.
To date Sandhata has raised over £8,000 to Manavata which has already assisted their work on the ground.
DevOps is all about fast and frequent deployments, measuring value and continual improvement. I’m sure you have heard about reducing batch sizes in order to decrease lead time, increase deployment frequency and improve stability and quality. Well, focusing on the minimum viable product is one way to reduce batch sizes and enable more frequent deployments.
A product which is delivered with just enough features/capabilities to satisfy a subset of users and validate a business use case. Once the product is released, the subset of users will provide feedback which will drive the direction and delivery of subsequent features (or halt development if the product does not appear to have viable business value). Products generally follow an iterative deployment model, and the product evolves through multiple deployments before the product is seen as ‘complete’.
Are your projects failing to deliver the value you expected?
Are you unable to release changes as fast as you would like?
Are your teams stuck behind heavyweight processes slowing them down?
Is change expensive due to clunky, inefficient change management?
Our experience with a wide variety of clients has shown us that a heavyweight, cumbersome change management is one of the biggest blockers to achieving your DevOps goals and delivering change at the speed you need.
We are delighted to announce that we, jointly with Vodafone, have been named as Finalists in three categories at this year’s DevOps Excellence Awards.
Now in its 4th year, the DevOps Excellence Awards celebrate and recognise outstanding achievement from organisations and solutions operating within the DevOps space.
Sandhata, in partnership with Vodafone, has been nominated as finalists at the DevOps Excellence Awards in 3 categories:
Sandhata’s brand new Offshore Delivery Centre (ODC) opens this week in Pune, India. This new office is located in Tech Park One near a few of our current clients in Pune, enabling us to build on our already close working relationships. Co-location of our Sandhata team members and our clients will help us foster even closer collaboration on the many and varied DevOps, Transformation and Integration projects we are currently engaged in.
One of our most recent projects was delivering lifecycle automation for a Tier-1 client. As with any and every “DevOps project”, there were a number of challenges we overcame when delivering the project. In this blog, I will talk about some of the hurdles we came up against and how we managed to work through them, as well as some of the project successes.
We see a few common challenges in some form or the other at every client we work with. The way we work through these challenges and overcome hurdles is where our skill and wide-ranging experience in delivering this type of DevOps project really come into their own.
