CloudBees a Best in Show for DevOps in the SDTimes 100 for 2016

Each year, the SD Times 100 recognizes companies, noncommercial organizations, open source projects and other initiatives for their innovation and leadership. Judged by the editors of SD Times and BZ Media, the program recognizes the top innovators and leaders in multiple software development industry areas. Now in its 14th year, SDTimes once again took a look those companies which have demonstrated innovation, and that have advanced the state of the art of software development. These companies have often captured the lion’s share of their market and, they’re what the people in our industry are talking about in the areas of ALM and Development Tools; APIs, Libraries and Frameworks; Big Data and Business Intelligence; Database and Database Management; DevOps ; the Cloud; Test, Security and Performance; SCM; User Experience; and of course, Influencers. We are excited to share that CloudBees was named a Best in Show for DevOps in 2016 , and this was the 10th time we were recognized by SDTimes! With cycles getting shorter and shorter, developers need tools that help them with Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Application Release. With speed in mind, CloudBees was recognized as one of the companies that help keep software delivery projects and practitioners on track, no matter how fast they need to go.

What’s New with CloudBees since the last SDTimes 100?

Plenty!
