A Technologies has announced the
results of a global study which shows
that some organisations are struggling with
the key challenges and missing out on the
extensive benefits that Agile and DevOps
can have.
The study, How Agile and DevOps Enable
Digital Readiness and Transformation,
found that, while 75% of respondents
recognise that Agile and DevOps approaches
drive significant business success when
implemented together, only a small
proportion consider the consistency, depth
and breadth of usage of these practices to
be high. It showcases the characteristics of
‘Agility Masters’ (the top 18%), which are
organisations that are the furthest along in
the full adoption and doing most or nearly all
of the right things to make Agile and DevOps
an essential part of how they function.
“The pressure is on to make all parts of an
organisation as flexible as possible when
responding to changing customer demands,
user expectations, regulatory changes
and – most important of all – market
opportunities,” said Jaco Greyling, Chief
Technology Officer for Enterprise DevOps
at CA Southern Africa. “Business leaders
need to be aggressive and intentional about
driving adoption of Agile and DevOps within
their organisations. The success of their
business depends on it.”
T
he Velocity Group is adding
Check Point Software to its list of
vendors. It means that the specialist
South African ICT partner will be able
to provide more than 400 mid-market
customers access to a host of security
solutions that specifically address
changing security needs.
“With its multi-level architecture approach

from a technology need to a business
process and a portfolio that extends from
the endpoint to the cloud, I believe Check
Point is the perfect partner to assist us to
offer clients security solutions that are
relevant and adaptable to the modern
market,” said Jonathan Kropf, Director at
