Italy’s leading ICT company, in partnership with the industry’s major players, has organised the software design event focusing on the new development “style”, to be held today at the Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation in Milan

Milan, 16th March 2017 - Operational agility, continuity of the supply and collaboration among teams: the DevOps approach promotes cooperation among teams to improve business and user experience. Thanks to AlmavivA, in collaboration with Cisco, Dynatrace Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and Red Hat, the sector’s leading companies convene today at the Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Foundation, in Milan, for the DevOps Day. Following the success of the event held in Rome last October, this new event offers the participants an opportunity to discuss the distinctive value characterising this innovative approach.

DevOps – namely Dev (development) combined with Ops (operation) – is an innovative software development methodology based on sharing and collective collaboration geared towards designing, testing and releasing application solutions for organisations, in both traditional and cloud-based environments.

“The current scenario demands extremely rapid development of new products and services: this can be achieved through DevOps and the methodological approach that AlmavivA has implemented to support companies in the complex transformation of IT solutions” – commented Nunzio Calì, Deputy General Manager of AlmavivA IT Operations. “The aim is to use the entire IT chain to support business in companies and public administration entities, where IT is an integral and core component of business. AlmavivA is a prime player in this field, thanks to the AlmaToolBox platform, and its presence continues to expand”.

DevOps allows for developing software products and services rapidly and efficiently, thanks to a collaborative, open and transparent culture. The key lies in operational agility and on-going supply, and in the collaboration and interaction between inter-functional teams involving public administration entities and private companies.

AlmavivA’s main solution within the DevOps framework is the AlmaToolBox platform, a mix of methodologies, IT tools and Change Management interventions on organisations, aimed at private companies and public administration entities.
