CUSTOMER
Customer Segment
⽂本

8. BAT are top3 internet companies at
China, and they have strong enough
tech capability and understanding of
their own business to work out their
own DevOps or Continuous Delivery
architecture, platforms and solution.

9. Mobile
There are pure mobile business companies, also
current enterprises expanding to the mobile
area. Mobile apps development are comparably
easier to apply the full DevOps concept. And
they require Design Thinking and Agile too.

10. Traditional Companies
e.g. banks
All kinds of barriers while moving towards DevOps,
because of highly functional and hierarchical organization
structure, old proprietary tools, old habits and mindsets.

11. Startups
Smaller Companies
Many used the cloud hosting services,
and much easier for the cloud service
vendors to provide DevOps to them.

By bringing together the culture, processes, and tools across the entire software
delivery lifecycle – spanning mobile to mainframe platforms
THE NEED: INTEGRATE SYSTEMS OF
ENGAGEMENT WITH SYSTEMS OF RECORD
It brings complexity to organizations cross those different types of systems. Ice-breaking required.

IBM DESIGN THINKING + AGILE + DEVOPS
Maybe incorrect but simple positioning of those 3,
IBM Design Thinking to ensure working on the RIGHT thing,
Agile focus on people and process to ensure get the right things RIGHT,
DevOps as mostly tools automation and pipelining to make it FAST.
