The practice of DevOps promises to bring agility, speed and repeatability to software development and deployment.  Unfortunately, the business value of DevOps is difficult to articulate and easy for leadership to overlook.  That is a shame because DevOps has the ability to delight your customers, increase NPS with improved quality and reliability, and allows you to out-perform your strongest rivals. 

Join Alan Santos, Director of Product Management for Progress DataDirect, as he discusses the value of DevOps,  how to sell that value and secure budget for new initiatives, and finally how Progress is doing their part to improve the state of DevOps analytics.
