"Accelerating product delivery in the Digital Economy through Continuous Application Lifecycle Management of Cloud-based Workload, backed by @WalmartLabs"
I think you could work on that elevator pitch a little - it seems like it's been workshopped by a committee, and doesn't really tell me anything.
- dang 11y agoThere's a blog post at http://www.walmartlabs.com/2016/01/oneops-now-available/ http://www.walmartlabs.com/2016/01/oneops-now-available/ (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10974286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10974286), if that helps.
- arturadib 11y agoI was just about to post the same thing. So much business-speak, no idea what in the world this could be.
- workitout 11y agoYou might want to brush up on business speak, that's the real reason for writing the vast majority of all software ever written or that will be written in this century.
- int_handler 11y agoThe point is that it is possible to be able to pitch a technology to management without being overly opaque and sounding like a bag of buzzwords. Also, keep in mind that different industries are accustomed to different sets of terminology. Engineers at tech companies don't usually use terms such as "product delivery" and "Continuous Application Lifecycle Management." To us, "multi-cloud orchestrator" is a much clearer way to describe this technology. No need to be so condescending.
- cdcarter 11y agoIt's odd, I am an engineer at a tech company that works on the Salesforce stack so I use the phrase "product delivery" all the time and "continuous application lifecycle management" is a perfectly normal phrase to me. It's really all about different industries, even within "tech".

- corpophobic 11y agoYou just gotta love IT departments at non-tech corporations. Shudder
- workitout 11y agoSo you mean the IT departments that represent the majority of all businesses in the entire world? Yes, they work their butts off.
- voidlogic 11y agoNot only that, this is coming out of "Walmart Labs @ Walmart Global eCommerce". Sounds like a tech company.... This is more just big company PR people than tech or non-tech.

- dtx 11y agoHere we see a live example of ignorance being bliss. Walmart Labs is as much as an 'IT corporation' as vineyards are football fields.
- bdcravens 11y agoI don't see the problem. Obviously they are innovating through paradigm disruption.
- glup 11y agoI think they forgot to capitalize Product Delivery (?). Someone fix it and submit a pull request.
