DevOps

BCG’s proprietary benchmarking evaluates how your IT organization compares with those of your peers. It measures your organization’s readiness for DevOps and agile at scale, identifies capability gaps, and details the best path forward.

Based on benchmarking results, we can help you develop a high-level business case for agile DevOps. In addition to quantifying the gains that DevOps at scale can deliver, we assess the business tradeoffs among agility, cost, and quality.

BCG helps you design and pilot a unique target operating model and build cross-functional teams that focus on reducing inefficiencies. During this process, we identify the need for DevOps deep dives, such as DevSecOps, AI operations, DevOps in complex enterprise resource planning environments, DevOps in data, site reliability engineer deployments, and no operations (NoOps).

BCG helps you assess and benchmark all the DevOps tools available so that you select the ones best suited to your unique organization. Tailoring your toolkit ensures that all your tools work in harmony with one another and with your company’s business capabilities, as well as your existing technology, applications, and DevOps infrastructure–covering the full life cycle of software development.

We not only showcase DevOps in small pilots as proof of concept, we also work together with your teams to manage and drive large-scale implementation projects. By integrating projects at all levels and enabling teams on the ground, companies create immediate impact, promote continuous learning, and build a proven DevOps culture.

After DevOps at scale has been deployed, BCG’s dashboard closely monitors the performance of—and opportunities for further improvements in—the technology architecture, software, and DevOps team. Working collaboratively, we continue to evolve the DevOps platform and ensure that you can roll out the approach across your organization.

Our DevOps consultants coach employees to develop the skills and capabilities needed to drive progress in key areas, such as improving their DevOps toolchain setup, adopting SRE principles, defining architecture roadmaps to improve modularization and decoupling (for example, by deploying microservices and other modern architecture patterns), and propagating security design principles across the software development life cycle.
