Did you know the average age of the top four banks is 175 years old? And those four banks are the end result of merging or acquiring 35 separate companies over the last 40 years? This means lots of different cultures, tech stacks, apps, processes, and controls – and SCRIPTS!!

Join Chris Nowak, Principal at FlowStates, and Avantika Mathur, ElectricFlow Product Manager, as they share hard-won lessons and emerging patterns in DevOps and release orchestration that can help any regulated organizations climb out of scripting hell. You’ll hear:

1) Why it’s important to prioritize delivery improvement across all your teams

2) How the theory of constraints is limiting your success

3) And how simple things like version control for artifacts can help improve success rates!
