We know what makes Agile valuable: predictability, responsiveness and transparency. When done right, Agile Development increases delivery capability, fosters innovation and creativity, and yields more business value far earlier in the project timeline. It provides an approach that emphasizes user needs and priorities, continuous delivery, rapid adaptation to changing circumstances, and total transparency for business owners and key stakeholders.

IOP helps clients gain the true benefits of Agile Development, using practices and techniques that have been proven across countless client engagements. These practices enhance relationships with mission stakeholders, proactively identifying needs and increasing the speed and consistency of application delivery. Our experience in enterprise-scale engagements includes Scrum and Kanban, each tailored and chosen specifically to meet the unique challenges of the development and operations environment. Our people bring the philosophy, the process, the techniques, and the results focus that translates into successful delivery.

For years, IT development organizations have striven to combine speed, agility, quality and security to produce high-performing and sustainable systems. Until recently, these factors have been at cross-purposes, with an increase in one often leading to a downturn in another.  But with a strong tooling and process foundation, DevSecOps allows these factors to move together in unison.

IOP enables organizations to transition from traditional software delivery processes and infrastructure into streamlined DevSecOps approaches.   Our full-stack engineers are fluent across the entire space of technical solutions: front- end, back-end, database, network, and system operations. We bundle comprehensive pipelines that build, secure, test, and deploy using leading tooling that automates the process from end-to- end.  Our DevSecOps practices ramp up the speed of delivery while embedding security approaches, improving the quality of delivery, and providing the mission organization with the agility necessary to meet changing needs and priorities.

For our clients, DevSecOps means they don’t have to wait on reports, approvals, and vendor-imposed release schedules. With full automation and comprehensive alerting and reporting, IOP gives our clients the flexibility to operate at the pace they want to, with the peace of mind that comes   from embedded security and quality engineering.

 When leveraged correctly, cloud environments deliver a range of advantages, from improved speed and quality to cost effectiveness. At IOP, we view cloud migrations and cloud native implementations as opportunities for organizations to rethink how they acquire, architect, secure, implement, and operate their IT systems and portfolios. For years, we’ve operated inside cloud environments including AWS Commercial, GovCloud, and C2S, along with Microsoft Azure Government. Our innovative staff possess expertise across disciplines of cloud engineering, cloud native development, cloud monitoring and operations tools, and serverless and managed cloud services. This expertise provides our clients optimized solutions in the areas of: cost, capabilities, performance, and security requirements.

In an ever-changing vendor landscape, every IT organization wants to drive innovation, reduce costs, and avoid product lock-in. When strategically applied, open source technologies provide just this mix of benefits to adopt new approaches faster, and often at a fraction of the cost.

IOP has been delivering solutions that utilize open source technologies for years. From fundamental underlying technologies to purpose-built application frameworks and products, we continually scan and implement the latest capabilities provided by the open source community. We leverage partnerships with key technology companies like Confluent, Docker and Red Hat, providing our customers with capabilities that evolve much quicker than proprietary technologies, and at a significantly lower cost.
