Cloud Transformation enables innovation by reducing costs and improving business by standardizing application, service processes and infrastructure. It helps businesses to operate with improved flexibility and scalability. Cloud Transformation allows you to work smarter and take advantage of increasingly digital, networked world in new ways.

Principles of Cloud:

The six principles include enablement, cost, flexibility, enterprise risk, capability, accountability and trust.

• Expertise
• Outcome
• Availability and Scalability

Key Benefits:

• Faster Time-to-Market
• Easy to Adopt
• Increased responsiveness to unforeseen events
• Ahead of the curve on updates
• Enhanced information security
• Risk mitigation with pay for use model

Service Offerings:

We participate actively in the pilot program of clients on cloud migration and extend the relationship to production rollout. We have strategic partnerships with market leaders in cloud services to offer:

At Connecion LLC, we see DevOps as a No-touch Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) driven software delivery approach. An approach that believes that a single integrated delivery function from requirements to development to testing and all the way to production will provide higher business value to customers in an efficient manner.

Principles of DevOps:

DRIVING FORCE OF DEVOPS

• Develop and Test in an environment similar to the production
• Deploy Builds frequently
• Validate Quality Continuously
• Automate deployments
• Roll back faster to last production build

Key Benefits:

DO DEVOPS TO KEEP PACE WITH A HIGH-VELOCITY BUSINESS

If the top concerns we hear from customers are “How can we release on time?”, “How can we have a stable release?” or “How can we address problems before going to production?” – Get DevOps.

Enterprises have adopted a wait and watch approach thus far, to the changing dynamics of application development. There is too much at stake to disturb the robustness and stability of applications that have become the backbone of businesses. This is more true of COTS (Commercial Off-shelf Third Part Systems) with huge customization over the years and hence the tag “legacy” systems. In today’s world of hyper-competition, agility and flexibility have become keys to the successful transformation of software-driven organizations.

Development environments, programming skills, software tools, and technology disruptions have impacted enterprises so much that they are shaken out of lethargy. Cloud is making a big impact on the way enterprises now think of building applications, hosting them on virtual machines, scaling as needed and shutting down data centers. The SDLC processes have become agile for quite some time, but the operations have become nimbler with the adoption of automation, continuous integration and deployment paradigm.

The performance of legacy applications in the Cloud environment is often sub-optimal due to inherent dependencies between logical components or modules and or data access methods. There is a need to refactor or rewrite applications to leverage the different Cloud services and newer development tools like MVC frameworks, Server-less architecture, etc., Front ends need to be more responsive to preserve user experience and back-end systems have to handle functionally independent services at scale (Micro-services).

QUALITY RESOURCES ON TIME

Some of the biggest challenges that many organizations are facing today is getting the right talent at the right time. Connecion LLC has a strong recruitment process which acts as an extension to clients recruitment efforts to provide good quality resources in leading technologies.

Principles of Consulting:

RESOURCES ON DEMAND

With applications supporting and often transforming business processes, ensuring that those applications are managed effectively and continually is critical. Obtaining hard-to-find IT skilled professionals who can deliver quality application development and management with minimal training is a challenging business face around the world.

While some organizations are comfortable having a third-party manage part of, or their entire application environment, many seek to augment their in-house skills with external IT talent who can work under their direction and guidance. Many IT organizations today seek both the flexibility to obtain resources when and where needed and the ability to “gear up” for projects that require specialized application skills that don’t exist or can’t be leveraged internally.

Our consulting can help you achieve a number of business goals including faster speed-to-market, industry and technical experience that accelerates the quality and speed of development and avoiding the cost and time required for internal training and skill development.

Connecion LLC’s consulting services provide skilled personnel to work under your direction to help you develop, maintain, manage and support your applications. Our skilled application professionals can help you manage fluctuating skill needs, skills gaps and changing staffing needs to meet your aggressive project timelines. Connecion LLC resources work with you on-site or remote and are certified in key technologies from Connecion LLC’s multiple global delivery centers worldwide.
