Zivra was founded in 2012 by Ex-Accenture executives to deliver top quality, boutique-style

Information Technology services to FORTUNE 1000 companies. We have over 100 years combined

technical consulting expertise working with Enterprise organizations.

We are a leading IT Technology Consulting Practice with a strong focus on DevOps, Cloud, and Agile.

We have US-based teams from which we are able to access resources and, regardless of location, engage

our clients locally. We can offer nearshore and offshore teams to support cost-effective engagements.

For IT to support the business demands of today and tomorrow, every organization has to become more agile,

more continuous, more automated — more DevOps. And for DevOps practices to succeed over the long

term they must address quality and risk considerations early and across the software lifecycle.

DevOps TestOps

DevOps combines structured process definitions and

refinements with significant automation to achieve

faster throughput, moving functions and features from

Development to Production with higher quality and

lower costs.

Zivra defines it as: “Services that are executed in

support of the Coding and Testing functions of a

software development project using Cloud or dedicated

resources, promoting faster delivery, better quality

products and better application stability while allowing

developers and testers to focus on their primary

functions (creating and testing software).”

Below is a representative diagram of a recent Enterprise Transformation Engagement.


Jenkins CIE, executes automated builds, and runs automated smoke or regression tests on servers or in cloud.

Developers check code out, check in code changes

Committed code in Git triggers Jenkins to do a build and run Code Quality and Security Scanning
