Learn by Building
Ergonautic brings together technology experience, from fast growing startups to complex enterprise environments, with theoretical understanding and ongoing research. We understand you have unique context and tradeoffs. Get off the buzzword-of-the-day treadmill and work to be a better organization. Praxis makes possible.
Beyond Dev and Ops
In the last decade, Developers and Operations focused on improving software delivery. Organizations have made progress solving their DevOps puzzles, but improvement stalls without a holistic approach. Business drivers, product strategy, enterprise architecture, quality assurance, data science, security and compliance all impact the work to be done. Engage across your value streams to create unified purpose and understanding.
Modern Governance
Most DevOps implementations optimize for increased developer productivity and operational efficiency. The accelerated pace and the ephemeral nature of cloud resources often leaves security and compliance behind. Modern Governance solves the false choice between exposing the organization to risk or going faster. Go faster and safer with continuously audited and verified policy. No compromises.
Platforming
Infrastructure, Platform, Software... as a Service? Cloud is defined by self service access to resources, but many organizations struggle to develop platforms fit for their purpose. Internal platforms are NOT a product to deliver but shared resources that needs to evolve with the mission. If you build it, they might run. Bring all the interests together and build with the collective for the collective.
