Meeting you where you are – Take control of your Microsoft Platform with the DevOps Masterminds Maturity Model

In a Gartner survey, 70% of IT leaders reported DevOps as critical for business agility. With IT developments evolving at an increasing pace, it’s a real challenge for organizations to stay on top of every development, especially with the breakneck speed the cloud is evolving. IT solutions are often managed by multiple teams over extended time spans, making standardization and integration even more challenging. By employing an automation-first mindset, companies are able to stay ahead and spend less time on keeping the IT running and more on innovation.

The DevOps Masterminds Maturity Model helps organizations navigate this complexity by providing a structured approach to DevOps adoption. Our model is built around three pivotal phases: FormFlow, and Fly, each tailored to meet you where you are .

Form
The journey begins with laying a robust groundwork. Here’s how we assist:

  • Landing Zone: Establishing a secure and scalable base in the cloud.
  • Cloud Health and Cost Scan: Analyzing your current cloud setup for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  • Roadmap / Cloud Adoption Framework: Crafting a clear path forward with strategic guidance.
  • Training and Workshops: Empowering your team with essential knowledge and skills.

Flow
Once the foundation is set, the focus shifts to streamlining processes:

  • Migrations: Smooth transition of applications and data to the cloud.
  • Azure Well-Architected Framework: Ensuring your solutions are aligned with best practices for performance, security, and reliability.
  • Implementing IaC and Pipelines: Automating infrastructure and software delivery to increase efficiency.
  • Estate Optimization: Refining your IT landscape for better resource utilization.
  • Monitoring: Continuous visibility into your systems to preempt issues and optimize performance.

Fly
The final phase aims to make your operations seamless and self-sustaining:

  • Azure/Resource Lifecycle Management: Managing the lifecycle of your resources for maximum efficiency.
  • FinOps and Reporting: Integrating financial accountability into cloud management for cost control.
  • Continuous Improvement: Fostering a culture where improvement is ongoing.
