Tony Hansmann’s Summary
The Problem
Most software products fail because they do not make the transition from engineering to operations.
Open Source Consulting (OSC) has spent a decade working with companies using UNIX/Linux compute-farms to deliver their product. We have developed a reliable method for establishing and running large scale IT operations.
What OSC Provides
OSC saves failing and in-danger products that rely on UNIX/Linux compute-farms.
The common attributes of our customers are:
• Their main source of revenue is from a product running on a compute-farm.
• IT operations issues are overwhelming the business.
• There is friction between engineering and operations or there is no operations group dedicated to running the product.
• Key products are 30% over-budget, 30% over-schedule or are significantly not meeting requirements.
Process:
OSC is a high-touch consultancy. We partner with clients and are committed to taking on the issues standing in the way of a robust, manageable system. Having identified areas of improvement, OSC follows a process to implement baseline stability in the organization:
• Standardizing Processes
• Stabilizing technology
• Defining the operations space
• Assigning ownership
• Setting realistic expectations
• Supporting executive management
• Setting a clear vision
Management:
OSC adds significant value by providing both technical and management consulting. In addition to identifying and resolving the systems based issues, we work with the C and VP level to create an operations department that is ahead of the business in capacity and responsiveness.
Technology:
Technology organizations need more than management consulting. A senior architect with the appropriate experience will work at the command-line level to define what is and is not working in client’s systems.
