DevOps Consulting
Transform Your IT Operations with DevOps
DevOps is a methodology designed to align development and operation teams to deliver high-quality software faster. In DevOps since 2013, ScienceSoft offers end-to-end DevOps consulting services to help you achieve the increased frequency and reliability of software releases.
Is It Time to Turn to DevOps Consulting?
DevOps consulting may be the answer if you feel concerned about:
|
|
Differences in the configurations of development, testing and production environments. |
|
|
The slow manual process of providing new IT infrastructure. |
|
|
Time-consuming infrastructure modifications, software updates and bug fixing. |
|
|
The lack of collaboration between the teams (development, testing, system administration, and security) resulting in a slow software delivery and low software quality. |
|
|
Post-release errors affecting user or customer experience or business operations. |
|
|
A slow and inefficient testing process due to insufficient test automation. |

What Our Clients Say
We first contacted ScienceSoft because we needed senior-level expertise in .NET and DevOps, and we needed it quickly. ScienceSoft's DevOps engineers helped us optimize our infrastructure and set up a continuous software delivery process. The team is very professional, well-organized, and is always on top of the finer details. We're impressed by their passion for solving problems and implementing improvements.
We cooperated with ScienceSoft’s test automation team to validate the e-store’s performance under an increasing load. The collaboration with ScienceSoft helped stabilize the store’s performance and ensure its full compliance with the performance requirements. We also received all the test scripts and instructions on how to run them.
