DevOps

The Trailhead mission is to create custom apps and software that function exceptionally well for your end users, and that is why DevOps are an essential part of the development process.

Where the Development and Operations Trails Meet

When we set out to provide you with software solutions that make your life easier, an important component of the entire process is DevOps. We use these practices to adopt Agile processes so we can consistently provide high quality and continuous delivery for your new software and apps. DevOps also allow software to be developed in shorter lifecycles, which plays a key role in our ability to deliver projects on time and budget.

A key benefit of Agile software development processes that fall into DevOps is that teams are empowered with greater autonomy, and this allows for faster results (because in-progress work is reduced). It also breaks down barriers so that dev and operations teams are no longer siloed, which would otherwise result in greater handoff friction and delays in the development of software.

Increased Efficiency for Better Development

DevOps is a more efficient way to work across the entire development and application lifecycle because it covers a wide range of practices, including:

Source Code Management – Our team can better manage changes to documents, software, images, and other collections of code, configuration, and metadata during the entire development process.

Agile Project & Portfolio Management - We can more easily initiate, plan, execute, control, and close work to achieve specific goals and meet pre-specified success criteria at the right times.

Continuous Integration (CI) – Automating the build and testing processes to integrate code and continuously test minimizes our team’s manual efforts that would otherwise be spent in frequent runs of unit and integration tests.

Continuous Delivery (CD) - We use DevOps to build, test and package, configure and deploy applications to targeted environments.

Monitoring and Feedback – Our development teams embed monitoring into deployed versions to assess the impact of application changes to the user experience and overall business value.

Rapid Innovation – This process provides feedback in the development, testing, packaging, and deployment stages to better provide real-time feedback.

DevOps Leads to Greater Innovation

One of the many advantages of companies adopting cloud-native computing is that software development can be taken to the cloud. From a DevOps perspective, this means that your Trailhead Technology team can ultimately save you money by building, testing, and deploying applications from the cloud. It also means our developers have more opportunities to innovate.

Cloud-native application development and innovation, for example, is enhanced through improved collaboration. This ultimately results in better software delivered to clients like you sooner and with greater security. DevOps helps our team identify vulnerabilities during development (through predetermined criteria being assessed at prespecified checkpoints) and address them at earlier stages in the lifecycle.

Trailhead continues to be an excellent partner to augment and complement our own internal Product Development team. They help us stay abreast of and current with the latest technologies. They are great to collaborate and work with, and they consistently deliver high quality solutions on time and within budget.

Montage Portal

Montage Furniture Services provides furniture protection plans and claims processing services to a wide selection of furniture retailers and consumers.

Project Background

Montage was looking to build a new web portal for both Retailers and Consumers, which would integrate with Dynamics CRM and other legacy systems. The portal needed to be multi tenant and support branding and configuration for different Retailers. Trailhead architected the new Montage Platform, including the Portal and all of it’s back end integrations, did the UI/UX and then delivered the new system, along with enhancements to DevOps and processes.

DevOps

Trailhead stepped into a challenging project – building our new web architecture and redeveloping our portals at the same time the business was migrating from a legacy system to our new CRM solution. They were able to not only significantly improve our web development architecture but our development and deployment processes as well as the functionality and performance of our portals. The feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Trailhead has proven themselves to be a valuable partner.
