Since then, he feels that the transition programme has gone extremely well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking with DevOps can be rewarding \u2013 at TUI I have moved quickly, without having to face too many challenges. Colleagues are dealing with the technology and DevOps migration well. Most areas of the business are supportive about the new concepts and change that DevOps requires. The biggest of these is the change to culture, breaking down silos and the building of new teams,\u201d said Elston\u00a0in regards of his supportive team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChallenges do still exist, especially with existing testers, developers and ops in IT who are used to their way of doing things, and are still suspicious of change.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>TUI\u2019s future plans<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe DevOps Manager role at any enterprise sized organisation is attractive; you get to own and see what the future roadmap is going to achieve. TUI does not just sell holidays, we own and operate an airline, we have cruise liners, and we own many hotels, the scale of which is massive. What we are doing is imbedding CICD into our core strategy, by streamlining and optimising the way we deliver change, yet understanding that this will be a long journey,\u201d Elston\u00a0added.<\/p>\n<p>Elston will be presenting on DevOps into an enterprise at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.devopsevent.com\/clinton-elston\/\">National DevOps Conference<\/a>. He will be talking about how it requires complete cultural change, and the importance of people, processes and technology, taking people on the journey, and keeping those people, for better outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConferences play an important part in this journey. As Dev and Ops teams often have preconceptions on how to do things, it is crucial to get together and learn from each other, think of new ways to face challenges and challenge these assumptions,\u201dconcluded Elston.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.devopsevent.com\/register-2017\/\">Register here<\/a> today to attend Elston\u2019s presentation along with other senior industry speakers.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Leah Alger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The General Manager of DevOps at TUI UK&amp;I, Clinton Elston, spoke exclusively with DevOps Online about his success, future plans, and his presentation at The National DevOps Conference, which will take place on the 24-25 May 2017.
