Build

SPK’s team of experts designs and implements a structured process to ensure that software is adequately prepared for testing. This involves defining clear stages in the build process, from code compilation to packaging and artifact creation. Additionally, we ensure that the build environment is correctly configured, including setting up necessary dependencies, libraries, and tools required for the software to be built. We can set up automated continuous integration pipelines that handle everything from code integration to build execution. This automation reduces manual intervention, ensuring that the build process is efficient, repeatable, and reliable. Our team has experience with some of the top tools in this area, including Jenkins, CloudBees CI, GitLab, Bamboo, GitHub, Maven, and many others.

Test

SPK ensures high software quality by rigorously testing software. We utilize functional testing which verifies the software behaves as expected as well as non-functional testing which assesses other attributes such as performance and security. In addition to this, we often utilize test automation to increase efficiency and reliability. Our experts conduct performance testing, security testing, and CI/CD testing to ensure the software runs successfully. Overall we help organizations integrate, optimize, and automate testing to ensure their software continues to succeed over time. SPK has extensive experience with Cucumber, Selenium, and many other testing tools specific to different platforms and industries.

Release

Our team of experts helps you ensure smooth software releases by reducing the risk of failures.  We do this by preparing a staging environment that mimics how the software will operate in production. This allows us to mitigate risks before the software is released.  In addition to this, our team can design and implement deployment pipelines that automate code releases.  Automating the release process can minimize errors and speed up software delivery, but it is not required.  Furthermore, our consultants aid customers with selecting the most appropriate tool for their specific needs.  We do this by identifying tools that align with our customers’ operational goals, scalability needs, and budget constraints.  We align with best-in-class tools from Atlassian, GitLab, CloudBees, and many others.

Deploy

SPK assists organizations in setting up deployment strategies. More specifically, we help you select the proper software release and deployment strategy to support your customers best.  This includes canary releases, blue-green deployments, and more.  Our team will work with your organizations to define customer segments and help create the proper method of deployment by the right teams in your company.  Our consultants can recommend and implement the right deployment tools to support varying kinds of deployments. We build systems around deployment, ensuring they are scalable, flexible, and tailored to customer needs. 

Operate

Once software is deployed, we continuously support it, ensuring it remains online with optimal performance.  Our approach to this DevOps pillar includes the performance of the software application, managing any incidents that are seen, ensuring there are proper change management procedures in place for changes to the solution given new business requirements, feature updates or bug fixes, and we ensure the application has the proper amount of infrastructure.  In addition to this, we implement backups frequently and ensure our customers have a disaster recovery plan. We manage system security and offer many tools to keep systems as secure as possible. Lastly, but maybe most importantly,  SPK’s helpdesk services provide support for clients 24/7. We offer support, assisting users with software, hardware, cloud, and network connectivity issues. 

Monitor

SPK offers proactive monitoring and maintenance services.  We perform regular system checks to ensure all IT systems and software are performing well. Our infrastructure monitoring ensures all solutions, including bare metal servers and cloud services machines are operational and performing optimally.  Based on this information, we can set up alerts to inform our 24/7 team in the event their solutions are not performing optimally. Our application monitoring identifies and mitigates issues before they impact your business and ensures software is consistent across different environments.
