If you have a small to midsize business (SMB) and use a healthy amount of third-party and proprietary software, then you should consider engaging a DevOps professional. These brainy developers are responsible for a wide range of tasks, including code writing, app creation, scaling infrastructure, creating virtual environments, and automating systems and procedures. They oversee the engineering, quality assurance (QA), and smooth operations for all interdepartmental software communications. DevOps is more than a buzzword, it can be a crucial part of IT Operations and your business processes.
Think of this scenario: Your HR team wants to implement HR software that can help them manage employee records. Your DevOps Engineer, working alongside your development team, helps to implement the new tool, continually tests the tool to ensure constant functionality, builds out additional features as needed by the company, oversees required maintenance and upgrades, helps to automate predictable processes, and ties the system to other systems within the organization, such as your CRM tool. Your DevOps engineer should be able to contribute in this scenario, and any similar scenarios involving implementation of, experimentation with, and communication between disparate IT tools.
