Part 4 of 6 of The Coded Business Series, produced by O’Reilly Media with editorial partner Chef

Businesses have always needed speed and scale. Today, companies can use code, and the continuous, automated delivery of that code to scale quickly to meet demand, acquire the compute resources they need with minimal expense, and use automation to keep its IT team lean and efficient. These are key drivers that enable rapid scaling up of the business for companies of all sizes—making automated and continuous delivery of code a competitive imperative.

In this webcast, Kate Matsudaira hosts a discussion on how automating code can enable businesses of all sizes to prosper. Topics will include why and how IT needs to be integrated into the enterprise, focusing on speed and efficiency to get the highest ROI for your development resources, embracing fast iteration and data collection in product development and the ups and downs of the journey to becoming a lean organization.
