Experimental Innovation Culture in the Cloud

One of the benefits from cloud is that, as an organisation, you are able to provide your engineers with a relative low cost environment to experiment and think of new ways of doing things.

Where traditionally the cost for building and maintaining a test bed environment for experimentation cloud computing gives your engineers the option to quickly deploy an environment to run their experiments and tests on developing software in a new way.

Moving forward by innovation

Innovation is crucial for enterprises, where innovation was commonly done in the product development departments today innovation can come from any department. Especially internal IT development departments, or DevOps teams, can bring innovation both on product level as well as on internal system proficiency.

To be able to move forward innovation should be fostered and supported within an organisation. Some of the main drivers for allowing innovation are time and environments.

Time, the room to experiment, is something that need to be provided by how your teams are structured and the amount of work that is assigned to the teams. Leaving room for innovation is in general a good idea.
