Business results depend on

your ability to deliver secure

software innovation

• Deliver business solutions

• Modernize platform technology

• Develop and maintain interfaces

• Fix bugs and security holes

Quality risk, security

vulnerabilities and

unexpected costs from

poor test coverage

Delayed delivery caused

by complex and multi-

chain dependencies

Lack of collaboration

due to siloed teams,

tools and processes

Improve delivery operations by making it easier to live with multiple tools with data driven

delivery then automate and augment as much of the delivery

lifecycle as possible

Reduce security and compliance risk by automating testing as early as possible and understand the

relationships between activities and data

Deliver reliable solutions faster by orchestrating automatically across multiple delivery pipelines

Demand has stretched the ability of IT teams to quickly develop and deliver secure software solutions


IBM has teamed up with GitLab- GitLab Ultimate for IBM Cloud Paks

Faster adoption of business

and IT automation services

Reduced business risk

Lower cost of delivery

Uncovered new insights

hidden in unstructured data

Watson AIOps helped SREs

investigate otherwise hidden

anomalies and remediate a long-

standing issue that had been

hampering performance for months

Accelerated resolution time

Watson AIOps recognizes what is

"normal" for systems and uses that

"normal" to identify changes in data-

-hours ahead of standard efforts
