DevOps

Software Development

DevOps is an integrated approach to optimizing development and operational processes in IT. The goal is to deliver software faster, more reliably, and more efficiently – through close collaboration between development teams and IT operations. Instead of siloed working methods, processes are conceptualized, standardized and automated. 

Typical DevOps practices, such as continuous integration/ continuous delivery (CI/CD), infrastructure as code (IaC), and automated quality assurance, enable significantly higher development speeds, greater operational reliability, and better responsiveness to business requirements. 

Companies – from mid-sized businesses to large enterprises – benefit from shorter release cycles, higher software quality, and scalable cloud infrastructures. 

In Partnership

We are a Red Hat Business Partner and also have a partnership with HashiCorp. We offer you our expert knowledge and experience in process improvement approaches and can implement the appropriate DevOps approach for you to increase software quality and robustness with our experts.

The Best Time to Transition to DevOps

Typical Triggers for DevOps Projects in Companies: 

  • Delayed or unstable software releases 
  • Insufficient coordination between development and operations 
  • Planned cloud migrations or the introduction of microservices 
  • Need for greater agility and shorter time-to-market 

Benefits of DevOps – At A Glance

What you gain by using modern DevOps solutions: 

  • Faster releases through automated CI/CD pipelines 
  • Greater operational reliability thanks to standardized deployments 
  • Increased efficiency through reusability and automation 
  • Scalable IT infrastructure – ideal for growing requirements 
  • Better team collaboration and increased transparency 
  • Competitive advantages through faster implementation of innovations 
DevOps Benefits

Practical Examples

A German retail company faced the challenge of consolidating decentralized data processes and making them future proof. Our team developed a modular DevOps platform on which all ETL processes are automated, versioned and controlled via CI/CD pipelines. Operation is container-based in a Kubernetes environment, including automated testing, rollbacks, and monitoring. 

Results: 

  • Significantly faster deployment of new data processes 
  • Greater developer efficiency through self-service tools 
  • Stable, reproducible deployments with clear processes 
  • Better data availability for departments and business units 

A key application area of ​​our DevOps expertise is the development of tools to support cloud migrations and technology transitions. 

Example: 

We have developed our own migration tool for migrating from Tableau Server/ Online to Tableau Cloud. This tool automates key steps such as system analysis, content transfer and validation, making the entire migration process efficient, reproducible and fault tolerant. 

Added value for our customers: 

  • Reduction in manual effort 
  • Risk minimization through standardized migration logic 
  • Faster cloud adoption through automation 

In other projects, we have successfully implemented the migration of the local Talend Administration Center (TAC) to the cloud-based Talend Management Console (TMC) – a typical use case in ​​DevOps & Data Integration. 

Our services for the migration project: 

  • Analysis of the existing Talend on-premises infrastructure 
  • Design of a cloud target architecture 
  • Automated migration of jobs, user rights and schedules 
  • Development of workflow scripts for the migration 
  • Training and handover to operational managers 

Result: 

  • Scalable cloud platform with reduced infrastructure complexity 
  • Automated operations save resources 
  • Transparent processes for governance and security 

DevOps for Future-Proof IT Processes

As a specialized service provider, we support you with customized DevOps solutions, from initial conception to sustainable technical implementation: 

  • CI/CD pipeline engineering – building and operating efficient deployment processes 
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – using Terraform, Ansible, and other tools 
  • Kubernetes & OpenShift – container orchestration in modern cloud environments 
  • GitOps workflows – using ArgoCD or Flux for declarative deployment 
  • Cloud deployments – e.g., on Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud 
  • Platform engineering – developing stable, scalable DevOps platforms 

Our DevOps consulting is technology-neutral, vendor-independent, and consistently tailored to your business requirements.
