The global technology landscape is evolving with the advent of new technology themes and the increasing focus on consumer-centric solutions.
In this era of “software-defined”, software is gaining precedence in terms of creating a differentiated value proposition in the market for both
technology vendors and enterprises.
The evolving technology landscape has led to the birth of numerous startups that offer tools to facilitate enterprise adoption of innovative technologies
and best practices. Test automation, containerization, as-a-service, and product analytics/monitoring are a few areas witnessing significant startup activity.
An increasing focus on time-to-market and the need to innovate software products on a continuous basis has necessitated the evolution of service delivery models,
driving the mainstream adoption of Agile and DevOps as critical enablers for efficient software delivery. Over the past few years, multiple startups have thrived,
enabling the DevOps adoption journey for enterprises. They offer tools for managing the DevOps value streams through various stages, thus accelerating enterprise
DevOps adoption by eliminating the need for development of in-house toolchain.
