Kovair - Multi-Modal DevOps     Bi-Modal IT inherently means two teams, two processes, two sets of resources and two different ways of thinking, and somehow these converge in the end. Achieving agility with Bi-Modal IT comes at a cost for organizations, especially if silos continue to impede innovation, legacy back office systems and potential team conflicts continue to prevail. But does Bi-Modal IT solve things? Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Akshay Sharma to gain Kovair Software's perspective on Multi-Modal DevOps Development. Akshay is a Technical Advisor at Kovair Software. 18 Minutes Kovair RESTful API     Currently, RESTful APIs for any enterprise application are being regarded as next generation to SOA architectures. Cloud based software and micro services are heavily delving into RESTful API. Therefore, it is important for organizations and their software platforms to open the Gateway of API for the future. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bipin Shah to gain Kovair Software's perspective on RESTful APIs. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 20 Minutes Micro Focus - Agile Enterprise     To become an agile enterprise, enterprise architects, portfolio managers, and other executives must gain insight into the status of each application in their portfolio, so they can make effective resource and investment decisions. And when a business decision is made, it must be pushed down into the application teams for implementation and tracked across its lifecycle, from its origins in strategy, through development, and into deployment and production. But each team is unique. Each may choose its own development methodology, application lifecycle management tools, and metrics to track. Some are moving to DevOps to increase agility. As a result, the information that feeds business decisions is difficult to obtain and is inconsistent across teams. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Victoria Voinigescu to gain Micro Focus' perspectives on Achieving an Agile Enterprise. Victoria is a Sr. Product Manager of Agile Portfolio and Lifecycle Strategy with Micro Focus. 26 Minutes Micro Focus DevOps Suite     Businesses today are required to deliver software to their users at an ever-increasing pace, but at the same time, they must keep quality consistently high. The need to comply with corporate, industry and even government regulations, together with the demand for a superior user experience, leads organizations to adopt a holistic approach to application delivery. The application delivery toolset must include management, testing and monitoring, but crucially, these tools must be able to communicate with each other and provide visibility, transparency, and end-to-end traceability, and enable collaboration across the whole team and beyond. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews David Landsberg and Malcolm Isaacs to gain their perspectives on DevOps. David is the Director of Product Management, Application Delivery Management at Micro Focus and Malcolm is the Senior Solutions Marketing Manager at Micro Focus. 22 Minutes Micro Focus DevOps Suite     Businesses today are required to deliver software to their users at an ever-increasing pace, but at the same time, they must keep quality consistently high.

Gaining seamless connectivity between the tools to be used for DevOps is a major one. Without cross-tool data syncing and real-time collaboration between Dev and Ops, it is difficult to achieve process continuity and automate the DevOps lifecycle. Once integrated, cross-tool data from development and operations tools become readily available to every project stakeholder for their use. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bipin Shah to gain Kovair Software's perspective on Integrated DevOps. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 17 Minutes Micro Focus - DevOps     Software has become the most important tool for businesses to find, capture, and retain customers. Unlike a physical product, software can be changed quickly and often—and today, that’s exactly what customers expect. They can easily defect to a competitor offering a handy new feature—right after they leave a negative review about your company that could tarnish your reputation and drive away other potential users. Savvy businesses are using the rapid pace and malleability of software to drive more and more differentiation into the marketplace. They’re using instant feedback from users to continuously improve software. And increasingly, they’re doing this through DevOps. By ensuring close collaboration between developers and operations staff throughout the entire software development lifecycle, enterprises are becoming better at ensuring quality, maximizing speed, and reacting to—or even forecasting—market changes. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Ashish Kuthiala and Rafael Garcia to gain their perspectives on DevOps.Ashish is the Sr. Director of Marketing and Strategy at HPE DevOps and Rafael Garcia is the Director of R&D IT at HPE. 40 Minutes Microsoft Agile at Scale     Everything done around development — collaboration, testing, and customer feedback — has changed. Now, leveraging Agile in small teams is not unusual. But, when it comes leveraging Agile across hundreds of teams in a coordinated way, well that can be an eye opener. How are dependencies handled? How do the teams keep in sync? How does management stay in control, if hundreds of teams are autonomous? Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Aaron Bjork to gain Microsoft's perspective on Agile at Scale. Aaron is a Principal Group Program Manager working in Microsoft’s Visual Studio Cloud Services (VSCS) division. 29 Minutes Kovair iTM     Great products are the result of persistent development and rigorous testing. Enterprises demand a strategic approach to testing for quality, automation, predictability and cost reduction. Over time, software products and hence software projects have become extremely complicated and extensive due to comprehensive product functionalities, advanced level architectures and mammoth supported configurations. Today various factors like increasing pressure to develop high-quality software products, limited resources, shrinking development and deployment schedules, geographically distributed teams, and different tools across teams have become the greatest challenge for delivery of a quality product. This is also driving the need for enhancing the operational capabilities of the team. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 26 Minutes Microsoft DevOps     Enterprises need to be customer centric and routinely reinvent themselves to deliver wining experiences. Software applications are key to competing in this arena, and providing software faster gives companies a significant advantage. However, faster delivery of applications is challenging for both Dev and Ops teams. Both must increase speed without compromising quality. So, to gain an edge, Dev and Ops teams must work together to find a common set of processes and tools that help them both. Now when it comes to Business Agility, look for a solution that provides monitoring and analytics capabilities to ensure that your applications are always available, performing, and succeeding. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Sam Guckenheimer to gain Microsoft's perspective on DevOps and Business Agility. Sam is the Product Owner of the Microsoft Visual Studio product line. 38 Minutes SAP - ITOA Real Time Insight     Almost everything in the data center generates log files, it’s not uncommon to see volumes of 100 million events per day. Those events are generated by servers, routers, applications, virtual machines, databases, and operating systems, among others. With this volume of data, it’s hard to pinpoint problems and correlate them across devices in real-time to address problems quickly. When an outage or performance issue does occur, teams work in parallel attempting to address the problem. Because teams typically use separate monitoring tools, it’s difficult to correlate events and quickly identify the root cause—and harder to predict issues before they impact users. Michael Lippis interviews John Schitka to gain SAP's perspective on leveraging IT Operations Analytics for Real Time Insight. John a Senior Director of Big Data Solutions Marketing for SAP. 40 Minutes Outthink Outages with IBM ITOA     Successful organizations are creating compelling consumer experiences that transform their interaction. Yet the complex technologies that support these experiences need to be continuously up and running in peak performance or even the most promising experience will ultimately fail. While traditional monitoring tools can help pinpoint problems to improve mean time to repair, cognitive capabilities can go deeper to improve mean time to know – to locate the root cause of a problem, to determine how it occurred and predict when it might occur again. Michael Lippis interviews Denny O'Brien to gain IBM's perspective on IT Operations Analytics or ITOA. Denny is the Program Director for IBM Operations Analytics offerings. 17 Minutes SAP ITOA Prevents Data Center Outages     IT departments are looking to better leverage the analytical capabilities used by business. But, IT professionals are finding that a fragmented view of partial operations can impede their ability to analyze root causes of data center incidents. So, resolve incidents effectively, IT needs to work with an analytic tool that gives a single view of all devices within IT from applications, to network devices, to servers. That would be anything that generates a syslog. While realtime monitoring and alerting are important, being interrupted because of a text message saying there’s a performance issue could be unwanted. Consequently, avoiding degradation or outages in advance could have material benefit to your organization.  Michael Lippis interviews Angela Harvey to gain SAP's perspective on IT Operations Analytics or ITOA. Angela is a SAP Director of Solution Management for Big Data and Analytics. 7 Minutes CloudBees Continuous Delivery     Over the last 10 years, continuous integration brought tangible improvements to the software delivery lifecycle - improvements that enabled adoption of agile delivery practices. The software industry is now progressing to the next maturity phase with continuous delivery. With its flexible plugin architecture and numerous plugins, Jenkins is like the person who knows everyone and can work with everyone. Enterprises can utilize any existing tools - whether developed in-house or licensed from a commercial vendor - or bring in a new tool and know that Jenkins will work with it.  Jenkins bridges both sides of the development/operations divide, bringing both teams together and enabling collaboration between them. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Dan Juengst to gain CloudBees' perspective on continuous delivery. Dan is the Sr. Director, Product Marketing at CloudBees. 13 Minutes Kovair Integrated ALM     Application development organizations exhaust resources on a multitude of siloed point function tools encompassing requirements management, testing, tracking and more. But, are you getting the most value out of these investments? Are you working with a consolidated picture or just the pieces of a puzzle? Integrating the tools in your software engineering environment can drive substantial savings in time and effort and ensure consistent quality. To deliver enhanced value to your customer, select a solution that provides greater synchronization between IT and your business. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Bipin Shah to gain Kovair Software's perspective on Integrated ALM. Bipin is the CEO of Kovair Software. 36 Minutes Windows Store for Business     Organizations are looking for better ways to deploy and acquire apps for Windows 10. Technology mangers need to extend their app reach to businesses, educational institutions and other organizations. Leveraging a store that works with line-of-business apps provides a competitive edge. LOB apps are custom to your company – they might be internal business apps, or apps specific to your business or industry. Developers should select a solution that provides an audience of large enterprises that can buy in bulk. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Jan Kalis to gain Microsoft's perspective on the Windows Store for Business. Jan is the Senior Product and Marketing Manager for the Windows Store for Business. 23 Minutes SAP ITOA     Most companies rely on diverse monitoring tools to support daily operations in their data centers. The result is a fragmented view of partial operations, which prevents users from gaining a holistic view of their operations. A fragmented view also impedes their ability to analyze root causes of data center incidents. To resolve incidents effectively, you need a comprehensive view and the tools to monitor your landscape. To gain an edge, select an ITOA solution that increases IT operational responsiveness by allowing your staff to focus on analyzing, detecting, and predicting incidents based on event log data, rather than just reacting.

Improper requirements management can lead to disconnected teams, wasted time, out-of-control costs and unsatisfied customers. If you use documents, spreadsheets, emails, wikis and other conventional office & productivity tools to keep track of your business, customer or product requirements, you could be putting your project at risk. With proper requirements management solution implementation, development costs can be reduced by up to 57%, time to market accelerated by up to 20%, and cost of quality lowered by up to 69%. Michael Lippis interviews Morgan Brown to gain IBM’s perspective on requirements management. Morgan is Global Enablement Leader for requirements management solutions at IBM Rational.  11 Minutes Microsoft App-V Integration     Application Virtualization (App-V) enables you to make applications available to end users without installing the applications directly on end user computers. It transforms applications into centrally managed services that are never installed and that don’t conflict with other applications. Through Citrix XenApp integration, joint customers can extend the benefits of Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack to reach a broader set of devices including lightly managed and non-Windows endpoints across local or wide area networks. With XenApp, App-V packages can now be delivered to lightly managed endpoint scenarios, even if the endpoint is not a member of the Microsoft Active Directory domain. As a result, new App-V use cases and access scenarios are enabled, including the delivery of applications to a consultant or for companies with Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) initiatives.

This infrastructure will allow applications and the physical network to collaborate, thereby providing a high quality experience for users and enabling optimization of resources. The ideal solution should follow a SDN approach. This will allow it to bridge the gap between the network world and the newly virtualized compute world by defining a framework that uses standardized interfaces between applications and networks. Likewise, it should be flexible enough to leverage multiple methods, including OpenFlow, to provide direct access to all virtual and physical objects in the data center and enable manipulation of the forwarding plane of physical and virtual network devices, such as switches and routers. Outlook Series' Michael Lippis interviews Khurram Khawaja to gain Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise's perspective on SDN. Khurram Khawaja is a Director Product Management for the Data Center Product Portfolio at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. 30 Minutes Seapine ALM   Quality-centric application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions enable you to deliver quality software products faster and within budget.

Top solutions in this space enable you to automate stress and boundary tests without virtual machines. So, to gain a competitive edge, leverage a solution that offers calculated fields which allow you to analyze workflow using custom metrics, and implement risk management and issue triage strategies using your own scoring formulas.  We interview Jeff Amfahr to gain Seapine Software's perspective on What's New in Seapine ALM 2012. Jeff is a Director of Product Management at Seapine Software. 24 Minutes Requirements Traceability   You know you need traceability in your product development process to ensure quality and manage the impact of change. You may even think you’re pretty good at it. But how strong is your traceability? Strong enough to guarantee quality in every product, every time? Strong enough to help you eliminate wasted time and dollars? Strong enough to pass a compliance audit? You may think so, but if your company or department exhibits certain symptoms your traceability may not be as strong as you think. Achieving traceability within a product development lifecycle helps ensure that changes are shared across teams, in order to maintain quality and compliance. Traceability is especially critical for achieving compliance with ever-stricter government agencies. We interview Peter Varhol to gain Seapine Software's perspective on requirements traceability. Peter is a Solutions Evangelist with Seapine Software. 46 Minutes Agile Development   Agile development can boost the productivity of developers, QA testers, product owners—and ultimately, increase the value of what is delivered to customers. Agile also enables development teams to collaborate better, and shortens release cycles. So, even if your team is not completely immersed into agile development, you are probably seeking to make parts of your process more Agile. To meet that challenge, you need the flexibility to run Agile and traditional software development projects in parallel without different teams having to use different tools. Whether your organization is using iterative waterfall, scrum, or another development methodology, you need a solution that adapts to the way your team works. We interview Paula Rome to gain Seapine Software's perspective on Agile Development. Paula is a Product Manager at Seapine Software. 20 Minutes
