(Customer name anonymized, at their request)

In today's fast-paced digital world, businesses are continuously seeking ways to optimize their operations, enhance security, and accelerate development processes. As an IT Value Added Reseller specializing in DevOps and DevSecOps, we are dedicated to helping organizations achieve these goals. Today, we want to share a success story about one of our customers, Cybernetics Corp, and how we helped them transform their DevSecOps process through a comprehensive automation roadmap.

Understanding the Challenge

Cybernetics Corp, a leading FinTech firm, faced significant challenges in harmonizing and unifying their IT infrastructure and automation roadmaps. The director of IT Infrastructure and Automation recognized the need for a more streamlined, secure and uniform DevOps process, maturing it from the Ad-Hoc and team by team way it was currently being operated.  The goals were clear:

1. Develop a comprehensive automation roadmap to guide future initiatives.
2. Evaluate and select best-of-breed vendors for automation, infrastructure as code, and security.
3. Simplify the procurement, deployment, and management of these solutions.
4. Help roll out the solutions and replace the ad-hoc nature of the tooling that was in place today.  

Our Approach

We partnered closely with Cybernetics Corp to understand their specific needs, pain points, and objectives. Our approach involved several key steps:

1. Creating the Automation Roadmap:

   • We conducted a series of workshops and consultations with the Cybernetics Corp team to identify their current state, desired future state, and the gaps in between.
   • Based on these insights, we developed a detailed automation roadmap that outlined the steps needed to achieve their goals, including timelines, resource requirements, and key milestones.

2. Evaluating and Selecting Vendors:

   • We conducted a thorough evaluation of various automation, infrastructure as code, and security vendors. This involved assessing their capabilities, compatibility with existing systems, scalability, and overall value.
   • Our evaluation process included demos, trials, and feedback sessions with the Cybernetics Corp team to ensure the selected solutions met their specific needs.

3. Streamlining Procurement, Deployment, and Management:

   • Once the best-of-breed solutions were selected, we assisted Cybernetics Corp in simplifying the procurement process. This included negotiating contracts, managing vendor relationships, and ensuring timely delivery.
   • We worked closely with their IT team to deploy and integrate the new solutions seamlessly into their existing infrastructure. This included setting up automated workflows, configuring security policies, and providing training to their staff.
   • Our ongoing support ensured that the solutions were managed effectively, and any issues were promptly addressed.

The Outcome

The implementation of the automation roadmap resulted in several key benefits for Cybernetics Corp:

1. Streamlined DevSecOps Process:

   • The new automation solutions enabled faster and more efficient development, testing, and deployment processes. This reduced the time to market for new features and updates.

2. Enhanced Security:

   • With integrated security solutions, Cybernetics Corp could enforce robust security policies throughout the development lifecycle. This minimized vulnerabilities and ensured compliance with industry standards.

3. Simplified Procurement and Management:

   • Our approach to procurement and vendor management made it easy for Cybernetics Corp to acquire and maintain the necessary tools. This reduced administrative overhead and allowed their IT team to focus on strategic initiatives.

4. Business Enablement:

   • Ultimately, the streamlined processes and enhanced security enabled Cybernetics Corp to better serve their customers and achieve their business objectives. This transformation positioned them for future growth and success.
