The former JBoss CTO will appear at the JAX London conference in October for a keynote on “Success in a Software-Defined Economy“. At this stage, we’re all well aware that ‘software is eating the world’. Today’s companies are realising that IT needs to be an integral part of business. That’s why Labourey’s keynote will focus on explaining how Jenkins-based DevOps and Continuous Delivery approaches are transforming software delivery processes to achieve dramatic improvements in overall speed, quality and business unit satisfaction.
