• #13: Key Slide: This is a key slide. This is a simple slide. It’s simplicity may mask how important it is. This is the crux of why we are here today. I talk to many companies. I talk to the industry analysts and our partners. It is clear that everyone is striving to drive a digital transformation – just last week that was the theme of the Oracle Openworld conference.   We see everyone wanting to deliver AGILITY … yet they also need RELIABILITY. That is where automation comes in. That is where we come in. That is where you have a great opportunity to lead your company. And that is why we are delighted to be here today, sharing with you a major new product announcement. As we make this digital transformation across all of our businesses, it’s an absolute requirement that we build in Agility and Reliability. Agility usually means faster and more flexibly, able to handle more variables. But if you don’t build in reliability, just doing error prone things faster and more flexibility will deliver errors and problems faster and in more volume. It’s a healthy push and pull – Agility and Reliability. Two sides of the same coin and so much a focus today that there is an entire movement called DevOps dedicated to this problem.

• #14: Quite simply, the world is changing. The world HAS changed. Every industry is being disrupted by the mega-trends of cloud, mobile, social and big data. This is having a profound effect on every company – including each and every one here today. [Click]
• #16: However, at the end of the day, your business runs on applications that utilize data running on infrastructure. It does not matter if the application is on Amazon, on force.com (SFDC), in a SaaS application like Workday or in your own datacenter. Ultimately it is all the same. [Click]
• #17: However, when something goes wrong, the implications are bigger than ever before. This is because we live in a SOCIAL WORLD. The minute something goes wrong, the entire world knows it. The impact is DOWNTIME, but your company REPUTATION and BRAND and STOCK PRICE … and potentially your career. [Click]

• #25: Unfortunately, without automation, we hear too many stories of frustration that’s really nobody’s fault. Without automation and under the current pressures it is hard to meet demands for infrastructure, new services, or drastic cost reduction goals. This is driving every organization in the world to look for solutions that enable self service for business and internal users from IT, and while a self service portal isn’t enough in and of itself, when that portal is powered by automation workflows in the back end, seamlessly integrated and requiring zero touch – the benefits are huge. So let’s look at a couple of examples to show you exactly what I mean [Click]

• #27: AUTOMIC Release Automation users use us today to automate deployments and orchestrate their entire delivery chain, it’s called “Continuous Delivery” its an automated pipeline that glues the entire chain together and keeps you in control [Click]
• #29: While DevOps generally covers collaboration of development, operations and infrastructure across all build and run activities, there is a strong focus on the software delivery process so it is worth to take a closer look. The following phases are part of this process. These phases, layers and activities are independent of the technology stack and application platform. E.g, They equally apply to mainframe development, java and web development and SAP development. Coding: Developers create and debug code in isolated development environments. They share and collaborate through their software change and configuration management or version control system. Platform and Infrastructure Teams have to provide the necessary Development Environments with their underlying Infrastructure. This also includes the software change and configuration management infrastructure and support tools for software modelling, design and test. CI: CI describes the cont. Build and test of the most current combined code changes of all team members in a development team within a shared environment. Activities performed are compile and build, packaging, static code analysis, unit test and local deployment. Platform and Infrastructure Teams have to provide the necessary CI Environments and tools with their underlying Infrastructure. This includes CI and build servers, as well as infrastructure for static code analysis, packaging and unit test. Delivery: The Delivery phase is very often split between development and operations. While development or a separate QA team are responsible for QA activities, operations typically takes over from pre-production. Operations takes integration steps and conducts further tests, including cross-system performance and security testing. Platform and Infrastructure Teams have to provide the necessary CD Environments with their underlying Infrastructure. Deployment: The Deployment phase covers the production release & deploy activities and includes production integration activities such as job scheduling and release tests. Platform and Infrastructure Teams have to provide the necessary prod Environments and tools with their underlying Infrastructure.
• #30: So AUTOMIC Release Automation creates a pipeline.. A pipeline that connects developers and their toolsets to the operations teams and your production environments safe and secure and super fast. And a pipeline that enables operations to provision application infrastructures back to developers at the same speed. When exploited to its full potential AUTOMIC Release Automation is in effect your private platform as a service solution, it is cloud agnostic and can help you release to different environments with a click of a button. This is very POWERFULL stuff [Click]

• #32: Make sure we can talk to the “Why did the customer choose us ?” Its about winning ARA business, versus a WLA customer just “choosing us”.
