Project:
Azure Devops Fundamentals Training
Proof of Concept for Devops Implementation

 

What was the key for Premium Consulting to be the selected provider for this or these project(s)?

Several factors were considered: the cost-benefit the consultancy had over similar competitors, their extensive experience in similar projects related with CI/CD using Azure DevOps, and the professional training displayed during the selection process. Another key factor was including in the proposal a clear scope in terms of knowledge, and practical trainings (labs) that our agile team needed to achieve real skills.

How was / has been the performance of Premium Consulting during the execution of the projects?

The project’s implementation was done in the best terms and following the agreed workplans; during the execution of the plan there was flexibility in terms of scheduling times, workplan adjustments and refining, based on the team’s business needs. The plan was completed 100% and fulfilled all our expectations we had with the consultancy.

 

What is the value that Premium Consulting has added during the processes that has intervened?

The value can be measured in terms of agility, especially in the following topics: (1) improvements in the agile development lifecycle management using Azure DevOps, (2) Planning and execution of test plans in a more systematic and organized way, (3) training and initial testing of continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines. Even though the automatization is gradual process, I consider that this consultancy opened for us the doors to this digital transformation process in our work team with one of Heinsohn’s most important international client.
 
 

 

 

Would you recommend or would you rehire Premium Consulting for the future projects in your company, why?

Definitely! The goals we had set with the consultancy were achieved and we keep working with one of our international clients on the improvement of our automation and software development management processes using Azure DevOps.
