I was first introduced to SaaS (then ASP) in January 2000 when I joined Brassring, a rollup of 9 small companies in the Recruitment space, as its first CTO. Our flagship product, HireSystems, was the leading Applicant Tracking System delivered as a service to our large enterprise customers. Within a few months of joining Brassring, I realized that this was the how Enterprise technology will be delivered in the future. Ever since, I have continued to be a very strong proponent of SaaS.

DevOps And ITIL: Friends Or Enemies? @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Microservices
ITIL has actually been around since the 1980s, and has matured substantially in the intervening time. Today it belongs to AXELOS, a joint venture between the British Government and Capita plc. In spite of these years of progress, however, today’s Agile, DevOps context for IT makes the current version of ITIL from 2011 look to some people like a recipe for roadblocks and busy work.
