Webinar: How to Achieve Continuous Delivery Without Downtime
Today’s businesses demand quick access to new technology, which means they need shorter release cycles and centralized control of both your on and off premise resources. Integrating cloud resources into your traditional datacenter management can prove challenging and time consuming at best. What if you could increase your organization’s ability to innovate utilizing business automation to bridge the gap to the cloud?

This webinar will be looking at how you can:
- Automate your deployment of code updates with the correct configuration
- Reduce errors by automating manual steps and scripts
- Achieve quicker deployment times to meet business demands
- Integrate with Jenkins build management
Join us on February 18th as Tom Flitter, Director of Applications and Integrations at TASC, discusses how TASC solved long release cycles, extended service downtimes per release, and highly manual processes for releasing their main application across all environments.
