In a world of ever-accelerating business cycles and fast-changing client expectations, the cloud increasingly serves as a growth engine and a path to new business models. Dynamic clouds enable businesses to continuously reinvent themselves, adapting their business processes, their service and software delivery and their operations to achieve speed-to-market and quick response to customer feedback.In his Lunch Keynote at 14th Cloud Expo, Dr Kristof Kloeckner, General Manager at Rational Software, IBM, discussed the capabilities of BlueMix, IBM’s cloud platform, with integrated DevOps services.
