Configuration Management and DevOps do figure into many of the development and software engineering services of First Line Software.

Both are best practices of modern software development, and the process of our teams applies them in many types of projects including:

Software Development
Web Development
Mobile Application Development
Wearable Technology

...and more.

A best practice that is relatively recent, it is nonetheless a part of the process of many software development organizations, especially those employing Agile methodologies. Basically, it involves coordination between the development and the delivery of software to eliminate release bottlenecks.

One important concept is that of "continuous delivery" - and where practical, our teams adopt this practice. The ultimate goals include frequency of deployment of new functionality, lower defect rates and shorter time between fixes, maximized efficiency, security, predictability, and maintainability of the development process. Automation is applied whenever feasible to achieve efficiency.

In short, First Line Software development teams are conversant with the principles, tools, systems, and best practices of modern software engineering, and employ practices like configuration management and DevOps to achieve optimum end results for our clients.

If you have questions or would like to know more about how First Line Software works with these particular concepts, don't hesitate to contact us.

Your effort is the #1 reason that this project is going so well. I've worked with a lot of teams over the years and there are very few teams that I trust and respect. When you are given a task or feature, I never have to worry whether or not it will be accomplished on time and I never worry about the quality - you always deliver.

The team we put together in the last half of this year is one of the most productive, skilled and enjoyable I’ve ever worked on. It’s great to see the product brought to life, and I’m proud to work with all you folks.
Senior Architect, Fortune 100 company

The First Line Software team is professional, results driven, and proactive. I know that when we provide requirements for new functionality, they will not only deliver on the scope of what has been asked but will look beyond and give insight into how we can make our product even better. It has been a privilege to work with First Line Software, and I look forward to continuing our partnership in future.
