For many businesses, lost time is lost money. An Air Traffic Controller whose team utilizes Microsoft Teams acknowledged, “Every moment an aircraft is grounded is revenue loss for the company. My job is to keep the flights running on time.” Whether the task is to monitor and direct the aircraft on the ground and in the air, issue landing and take-off instructions to pilots, or alert airport response staff in case of emergencies—airport staff need to be confident in the tools they use. @MicrosoftTeams provides that confidence.

Traditional approaches to development aren’t keeping up with the complexity, pace, and scale of change in today’s digital landscape. With a DevOps strategy, teams work iteratively, delivering real-time responses to threats and opportunities. Scaling DevOps successfully means automating key areas of IT and operations—boosting sales and productivity. And that’s just the beginning.
