Indeed, the global market has witnessed significant growth with the development of software processes and toolsets while DevOps practices have transformed the way organizations develop their applications and digital services. Due to that, many applications will require upgrades and new features.

A study by Allied Market Research revealed that the global DevOps Industry size was valued at $2,885 million in 2016, and should reach $9,407 million by 2023. It should then rise to its highest growth rate from 2017 to 2023, with the increased demand for cloud computing services and the management of applications.

Moreover, DevOps is adopted more widely in large enterprises rather than SMEs, as they possess more investments and require reduced development cycles. This should then propel the adoption of DevOps among large enterprises as well as support the growth of the market in the next few years.

The report stated that database/query, spreadsheets, analytical/scientific software, and medical software skills are the most in-demand skills for the highest-paying and most likely to hire industries.

Moreover, it noted that Artificial Intelligence skills were on the rise as 86% of companies declared it would be of most importance in 2021. Besides, knowing spreadsheets and email are two sought-after skills, as well as database management. Analytical and scientific software skills are also some of the strongest skills required in enterprises today.

Hence, the study showcased that the top three software skills most needed are database user interface and query, spreadsheets, and analytical or scientific.

From small teams to large corporations, DevOps is becoming more and more popular as engineers, developers and those in various IT operations realise the benefits of collaborating across the board.

However, as work becomes more complex, teams can sometimes be bombarded with options, ideas and the latest in tech, which can become overwhelming, to say the least. Implementing changes to IT infrastructures can become challenging when firms are being pushed and communications starts to fade.

This can become very frustrating when ultimately, the point of DevOps is to come together as a team to work towards the same goal and improve an organisation through increased deployment speed and frequency, as well as higher quality product output and lower failure rates.

The buyer’s forum

The DevOps Industry Forum, held at the iconic British Museum, is a complimentary one-day event aimed at IT professionals who are looking to understand the latest in technology trends, as well have an opportunity to learn and investigate the products and services available in the coming year.

Happening on 31^st March 2020, the event will give experts the chance to learn about and explore the latest in cutting edge technology, services and solutions through:

• People and processes
• Tools and technology
• Strategy and management

People will then have the opportunity to decide if they would like to progress with any purchasing decisions which may benefit their organisations in moving forward.

A chance to relax

Attendees will be able to relax at the forum as they sit in on conferences and visit exhibitions, whilst considering case studies, opinions and user experiences presented to them. This allows people to make informed decisions regarding the products that may work best for them and their companies.

This format allows those attending to:

• Remove the hustle and bustle of an exhibition and reduce distractions
• Increase 1-on-1 time with people, enabling a more detailed understanding of products and services
• Make a more focused and informed decision in buying products

By attending the complimentary DevOps industry Forum delegates are able to make faster, more informed decisions as to which products & services will help them to move their businesses forward, saving time and increasing ROI.

The new scheme: Connect Westminster, will offer 1,000 local companies vouchers up to £2,000 towards ultrafast broadband connections.

Businesses will be able to share their vouchers with multi-occupancy offices, with connections having the capability to deliver at least 30Mbp.

Westminster Council’s Deputy Leader, Rober Davis said: “Westminster is a national global centre of employment and industry, containing more businesses and employees than any other London borough.

“47,165 businesses and 697,400 jobs with an expected 14% projected employee growth between 2016 and 2041 illustrates the significance of Westminster’s contribution to London’s economy and our need for ultrafast broadband, so we can continue to be the best place in the UK to start and grow a business.”

“Putting the end-user first should prompt us to embrace the full value of new technologies and data estates. The infrastructure and construction industries need to collaborate and coordinate not just with each other, but also with the technology and manufacturing industries if we are to keep pace with these advances, and seize the moment,” The State of the Nation 2017 Report said.

Main blockers and enablers to infrastructure’s digital transformation

State of the Nation 2017 is a project that details the practical steps governments and industry need to take to maintain our Britain and pull back on the extensive benefits.

Guided by the steering groups, 350 organisations and individuals identified the main blockers and enablers to infrastructure’s digital transformation. Key recommendations are:

Unlocking the productivity potential of digital transformation

• Digital transformation should be at the heart of the infrastructure pillar in government industrial strategy.
• The £23bn National Productivity Investment Fund should be targeted at the digital transformation of both construction (digital delivery) and infrastructure (smart infrastructure) to increase capacity and performance of existing assets and networks.
• Regulatory frameworks across all infrastructure sectors should incentivise whole life investment decisions based on the needs of the end user.

Encourage a step change in organisational culture and leadership in industry

• ICE and other professional institutions must work with industry and government to ensure that people at all points in their career have the right skills to adapt.
• Clients, our new global village, and digital evolvement are bringing huge amounts of transformation for users and government should use infrastructure projects, big and small, as incubators for skills and innovation.
• Clients should insist that data is identified, collected, stored and shared in the right way by everyone working on a project as part of the procurement process.

Future-proof infrastructure networks

• Cyber and physical security considerations must be at the center of industry thinking in order to keep up with evolving security threats.
• As infrastructure decisions are increasingly made at a local level we need to invest in improving the quality of local asset data. This will help improve understanding of the interdependencies between different assets and how that changes with increased connectivity.
• The National Infrastructure Commission should set out a needs-based strategy to align energy and digital infrastructure policy.

The results show security must be at the heart of all industry in order to keep up with constant threats.
