Continuous Delivery and PaaS

Many people recognize DevOps as an enormous benefit — faster application deployment, automated toolchains, support of more granular updates, better cooperation across groups. However, less appreciated is the journey enterprise IT groups need to make to achieve this outcome. The plain fact is that established IT processes reflect a very different set of goals: stability, infrequent change, hands-on administration, and alignment with ITIL. So how does an enterprise IT organization implement change to achieve DevOps outcomes? Watch Andi Mann and Bernard Golden discuss these issues and more.

Today's Fireside Chat: Are Innovation Labs the Right Fit for Your IT Organization?


sherly,

Join us today for an informative conversation with Jason Valentino, Director of Systems Operations at Capital One Labs, and Bernard Golden about how IT organizations can integrate innovation labs to transform their business offerings.

Register to attend today's webcast.

Date: Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
Time: 
10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm GMT
Format: 
60 min. Join the conversation on Twitter via #CLFchat

Enterprise IT organizations are under tremendous pressure to create new business offerings, deliver them quickly to market, and then improve and extend them rapidly, as ActiveState’s Stackato Vision describes. An increasingly popular way to do this is setting up an innovation lab — a separate group charged with accelerating innovation and incorporating new technologies and skill sets.

This discussion will cover topics such as:

  • What conditions make the innovation lab concept appropriate?
  • How does an innovation lab choose technology areas and projects?
  • What are some projects Capital One Labs has worked on?
  • How does a lab find and hire the right personnel and skill sets?
  • What are common mistakes companies make when setting up an innovation lab and how should they avoid them?
