ING Bank implemented continuous delivery and DevOps practices to improve their software delivery cycle. This allowed them to reduce time to market from over 20 weeks to just 4 days by automating testing, deployments, and enabling developers and operations teams to work together. Some challenges included changing organizational culture and mindsets, acquiring talent with continuous delivery skills, and ensuring supplier alignment with more frequent releases. Continuous delivery provided business benefits like increased release frequency, fewer outages, and improved customer experiences, but risks like security need ongoing attention for systems handling financial services.
