DEVOPS IN SALESFORCE
As enterprises look to maximize the value of their Salesforce investments, the approach of DevOps—a form of software development method that combines software development with IT operations—is gaining momentum. By operationalizing technology to accelerate the development cycle, optimize performance and facilitate automation, DevOps allows organizations to fully leverage the power of the Salesforce platform for maximum value. At its core, DevOps is focused on streamlining development process, enabling teams to be more agile and shorten development cycles, and bringing together stakeholders from different sectors of the organization. DevOps is about seamlessly integrating software development, IT operations, system management, product assurance, and control to help accelerate the delivery and deployment of high-quality solutions. When embraced, DevOps encourages a culture of collaboration between traditionally leading teams by empowering teams to identify and capture needs to generate innovative solutions that optimize customer experience. As a result, issues are found and resolved quicker, the speed of delivery is accelerated, and it allows organizations to maximize usage of Salesforce across their entire business. Organizations seeking to leverage DevOps for their Salesforce should consider working with a partner who specializes in Salesforce release management, backup and recovery, and security solutions. Working with an experienced partner can ensure that the right DevOps strategy is implemented for your Salesforce instance and can guarantee that it is done properly. The partner can provide services such as automated metrics and process monitoring services, as well as helping to reduce the impact of errors, improve the scalability of projects, and reduce the need for manual, time-consuming processes. Furthermore, the ability to track source control and test-driven development processes ensures that organizations can maintain traceability of code and maintain more reliable and secure implementations. The automation that comes with DevOps can also be leveraged to ensure rapid identification and remediation of issues, making sure that organizations remain productive and disruption free even while faced with major changes to processes, policies, or other practices. Finally, leveraging DevOps for the Salesforce platform can provide organizations with visibility into the application and infrastructure that supports their Salesforce instance, allowing for better control and compliance with industry requirements. As enterprises look to optimize their Salesforce investments, DevOps is quickly becoming the go-to method for modern release management. Working with the right partner, organizations can reap maximum value from their Salesforce instance with minimal disruption to the business. When implemented correctly, DevOps offers a streamlined road to accelerated delivery, improved scalability, and automated issue resolution.
