PRO+ Premium Content/CIO Decisions

Many IT and business professionals believe that enterprise DevOps -- the practice of putting developers and the IT operations people together so that building, testing and releasing software can happen more rapidly, frequently and reliably -- is the answer to building resilient systems that can change and scale in response to evolving business needs. But despite the many benefits of moving to an enterprise DevOps model, deploying it presents huge challenges, according to CIOs who have made the journey.

In this issue of CIO Decisions, Mary K. Pratt details the various skills CIOs and IT executives will require as they transition to an enterprise DevOps model. Plus, we delve into how the CDOs of SAP and the City of Boston use the language of experimentation, rather than failing fast; chat with consultant Bob Egan about why the mobile cloud is today's new center of innovation; and explore how one U.K. hotel chain used an API strategy to cut out the middleman and get closer to their digital customers.
