Meet skill shortages to adopt game-changing technologies 

According to Gartner, “through 2023, 90% of DevOps initiatives will fail to fully meet expectations due to the limitations of management approaches used by leadership, and not due to technical reasons.”(1) Flux7 aims to address this through two means, first by providing a framework and technology platform to quickly and securely adopt, implement, operate and scale enterprise IT platforms. Second, by upskilling teams with coaching that give customers the skills and knowledge to implement, scale and manage infrastructure moving forward. As a result of customer demand for modern IT platforms, Flux7 saw customer contracts increase 247 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2019.
