Ops Efficiency

Achieve your Goals

It starts with our DevOps approach to implementation but the greatest efficiencies our solutions deliver are through enabling your team to leverage automation of IAC and CI/CD technologies. Making Your Organisation More Efficient Achieving goals faster without compromising quality is a perennial business challenge. When realised, it can be a huge source of competitive advantage. Greater efficiency improves business agility and speeds time to market. It opens up more bandwidth to focus on other high-priority organisational goals.

In recent years, IT delivery has been transformed by the Agile Manifesto and the approach of DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices.

This helps to deliver projects faster and better, with more customer involvement and an incremental and structured approach that relies heavily on teamwork and honest feedback.

Adopting these approaches can require significant cultural change in some organisations but will, ultimately, deliver better results and greater efficiency. It’s how we ensure the best results and efficiency in our own project delivery.

But the greatest efficiencies our projects deliver go way beyond the implementation of the project itself. By far the most important benefits are created through what our projects do for your business:

The introduction of continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) practices.
Operational improvements through faster release rates, smaller backlog (fewer outstanding tasks) and improved test reliability.
Enhanced customer satisfaction thanks to reduced release times.
Simplified maintenance, including live delivery of system without downtime and fault isolation.
Better ways of working within teams thanks to streamlined collaboration, git code repositories, and automated tests and code review processes that result in improved information flows.
Breaking down information silos between teams to enable greater collaboration across the business and beyond.

In these ways and more, we are creating value and driving efficiency throughout UK organisations of all kinds.

About Being Agile

We’ve already spoken about how IT delivery has been transformed in recent years. The DataPhoenix team delivers our projects according to Agile methodologies and the approach of DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices.

We believe that adopting these approaches delivers better results and greater efficiency. That’s why we use them to drive efficiency in the way we deliver our own projects. As a result of this experience, the DataPhoenix team is made up of expert advocates of the Agile and DevOps approach to software delivery.

We will always work with and coach your people to embed this methodology and culture within your own team – helping to drive greater efficiency in the way you work long after we have gone.Beyond Agile, we will work with your team to assess your processes and technology to ensure you are maximising efficiencies across the board. This can mean asking difficult questions about the way you work and the technology choices made but, if you ask DataPhoenix to help you drive greater efficiency across your operations, we won’t shy away from asking them.

We’ll look at the data lifecycle model and how it is enforced. For example, are old backups removed? Are infrequently accessed files moved to cheaper storage facilities such as Glacier? Are the development servers switched off overnight?

We’ll consider the tagging strategy and how it is implemented. For example, have responsibilities been clearly defined? How easily can you identify which service is the biggest generator of costs? What policies do you have in place to manage or mitigate cost?

We’ll consider the monitoring systems you have in place and how they have been set up. Do you know when a pipeline breaks before the end user notices? Do you have an efficient alerting strategy?

We can also help you assess your readiness for taking advantage of the latest technology: infrastructure as code (IAC), continuous integration and continuous development pipelines, serverless architectures and containerisation. And we’ll work alongside your team to architect and deploy these technologies or develop plans so you are ready for them.

This is, of course, all delivered through an Agile and DevOps approach, ensuring you gain the benefits quickly and efficiencies are realised sooner and in a predictable manner.
