Azure DevOps Assessment - 5 or 10-Day Package

Business Challenge: Organisations struggle with software development and deployment practices that slow innovation and inflate costs: • Slow delivery cycles – Manual processes are delaying software releases and business agility • High operational costs – Non-production environments running unnecessarily, wasting resources • Collaboration gaps – Silos between development and IT operations create inefficiencies • Limited visibility – Business stakeholders lack insights to measure ROI on software assets • Inconsistent quality – Manual testing and deployment leading to reliability issues • Compliance risks – Difficulty maintaining security and naming standards across environments • Resource inefficiency – Teams spending excessive time on build and deployment instead of innovation

Organisations need to bridge the gap between current capabilities and the full spectrum of possibilities Azure DevOps offers.

Our Solution: DevOps represents a fundamental shift in how software development and IT operations collaborate, enabling faster and more reliable software delivery. SixPivot's Azure DevOps Consulting Services are designed to bridge this gap, empowering your organisation by enhancing collaboration, accelerating development cycles, and maximising the value of Azure.

We understand that DevOps is more than just tools; it's a cultural shift that fosters collaboration and integration across teams. Our services leverage Microsoft Azure to its fullest, including Azure Pipelines for CI/CD, Azure Boards for agile project management, and Azure Repos for version control.

Through our tailored approach, we guide you in establishing a culture of collaboration and automation, ensuring your teams can build, test, and deploy software rapidly and consistently. We work with you to optimise processes, automate workflows, and provide insights and reporting to maximise ROI on your Azure investment. With SixPivot's Azure DevOps Services, you can transition from your current state to achieving the Azure DevOps Maturity Model.

Two Assessment Packages ASSESS-IT (5-Day Package) - $13,200 ex GST • Assessment Report – Provides insight into the maturity of your software development capabilities and recommends potential improvements • Architecture Design – Current vs Desired state & Progression Framework • Deployment Plan – DevOps Implementation Recommendations with actionable steps to improve your organisation's capacity for continuous delivery

Phases: • Phase 1: Pre-Engagement Activities – Day 0 • Phase 2: Kick-off and Presentation – Day 1 • Phase 3: Workshops and Interviews – Day 2-3 • Phase 4: DevOps Implementation Assessment Deliverable Development – Day 4 • Phase 5: Plan and Resources Delivery – Day 5

POC-IT (10-Day Package) - $24,200 ex GST Includes everything in ASSESS-IT plus: • Proof of Concept (PoC) – Tightly controlled, limited scope session using a temporary tenant or deployment to demonstrate capabilities and features in action The 10-day POC-IT includes the first 5 days of ASSESS-IT, plus an additional 5 days to develop the Proof of Concept.

POC example scenarios include: DevTest solution for standardised test environments; automated Release Management solution; or for mobile development, implementation of Xamarin Test Cloud and automated testing for higher quality software.

Note: The end result is a mature DevOps workflow. This PoC is NOT A FULL INSTALLATION and will not meet all production requirements. As part of this engagement, we provide the next steps for moving to a complete production environment.

Deliverables • Assessment and roadmap documenting current maturity and improvement opportunities • Current vs Desired state architecture with progression framework • Implementation plan with actionable steps for continuous delivery • (POC-IT only) Working proof of concept demonstrating Azure DevOps capabilities • Next steps for full production implementation
