Once our clients have a well-defined digital strategy, they embark on the build, test, and release stages of the journey.  Our job is to coordinate this execution and implement our best practices.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a massive shift in the way technology is implemented. Cloud based, connected applications have caused IT operating models to change. Software and the internet have transformed the world. Software no longer supports a business, rather it becomes a component of nearly every part of the business. Today, organizations interact with their customers through applications on all sorts of devices. This software is also used to increase efficiencies and transform every part of the value chain such as communications, operations and logistics.

To survive in today’s digital landscape, organizations must transform how they build and deliver software. Similar to how companies transformed how they design, build and deliver products using industrial automation during the 20th century.

You no longer put an application in and leave it. We need to be able to pivot and adapt as things change. Instead of being static, we need to coordinate multiple releases and implementations at once.

  • We are always planning for the next upgrade or next release.
  • We are always looking at end user feedback and releasing fixes to address those comments
  • We are always taking into considering strategic goals of the organization and making sure the application is aligned

At TechAir, we have a technology delivery model that allows organizations to coordinate, align and execute releases simultaneously.

Why Continuous Execution?

A well implemented continuous execution process ensures the quality of the application and app updates so we can reliably deliver at a more rapid pace while maintaining a positive experience for end users. With a continuous approach, we can monitor real-time information and make changes on the fly.

  • Testing makes sure each change is functional and safe
  • Operating & Monitoring practices helps us stay informed of performance in real time
We can build a more effective team with a continuous approach. Both developers and ops teams collaborate closely, share responsibilities and combine workflows. This reduces inefficiencies and saves time.

  • Both teams will be sharing information and facilitating regular communication through Collaboration Tools like Microsoft Teams or Skype and Project Management Systems.
  • All parts of the organization will align more closely on goals and projects.
  • The process emphasizes values such as ownership and accountability
Move at high velocity so we can innovate faster, adapt to changing technologies quickly and grow more efficient at driving results. With continuous delivery, we can increase the frequency and pace of releases. The faster you can release new features and fix bugs, the faster you can respond to customer’s needs (and behavior). For example, if we see customers are tweeting at us when they have complaints, we should build a workflow to automate the case creation.  Along the way, there will be automations around the software release process whenever possible (i.e. testing automations, compliance checks).
With continuous execution, we can operate and manage the processes at scale.  Automation and consistency helps us manage complex/changing systems efficiently and with reduced risk. For example, we can scale an application faster when our process around development, testing and releasing is documented, automated and engrained within the culture. It’s more repeatable, and more efficient.
With the Microsoft Trust Center plus our operating & monitoring tools, we can move quickly while retaining control and preserving compliance. Also, we can implement automated compliance policies and configuration management techniques so we can define and track compliance at scale
