Patterns for Enterprise Success: The DevOps Journey at Nationwide

Your business depends on software. So it’s critical that enhancements be meaningful and timely – but you are confronted with legacy IT systems, process complexity, and organizational silos that take too long to deliver the software changes needed to support your business. To tackle the delivery of complex enterprise applications, businesses are embracing DevOps, a software delivery approach that focuses on speed and efficiency without sacrificing stability and quality.


In this session, join Carmen DeArdo, Director Application Development, Nationwide Insurance and Hayden Lindsey, IBM VP and Distinguished Engineer, to learn about DevOps. Carmen will share how Nationwide has improved software quality by 50 percent and reduced system downtime 70 percent by implementing DevOps processes and tools. Hayden will discuss IBM’s POV on DevOps, including current and future capabilities to drive ROI by integrating new systems of engagement applications with existing systems of records running on System z and Power platforms.
