In today’s digital world, software development has evolved into a complex ecosystem, involving countless tools, technologies, and services from a wide array of providers. This growing complexity presents a significant challenge for organisations striving to deliver value through software.

Now more than ever, improving the developer experience and streamlining the development process isn’t just a technical goal, it’s a strategic imperative. For CTOs, CIOs and technology leaders, reducing this complexity is at the top of the agenda.

Let’s explore how we can rise to this challenge — together.

We are delighted to invite you to join us for a highly interactive event focusing on developer experience at our Accelerating DevEx event in London on 23rd June.
