Leading automation for the Ministry of Justice

Share

IT Operations leaders can increase the agility of their infrastructure using DevOps tools and techniques such as continuous integration, continuous delivery and automation for operations.

DevOps offers the greatest benefits as a shared journey where both development and operations have to adopt new practices to accelerate business agility and fulfil organisational goals.

DevOps automation has already helped our clients to:

Create deep, sustainable collaboration between Operations and Development teams
Effect organisational change to support DevOps at scale
Follow an incremental approach to building capability

The Ministry of Justice is creating a new platform to develop efficient and accessible digital services to deliver access to justice using appropriate channels. They engaged us to lead the automation.
