Our take

The digital infrastructure required for future-proof enterprises is developing rapidly. Software developers are adopting DevOps to maintain agile and flexible infrastructures for scaling, but this transition is intimidating particularly to small businesses.

Puppet provides an automated infrastructure delivery platform that aims to aid enterprises in becoming futureproof for scaling. The startup provides individual service packages for infrastructure management, compliance, security, and self-service automation. The aim of these digital products is to reduce the workload required for infrastructure migration whilst preparing the business with the resources required for future sustainability.

Puppet demonstrates a unique approach to futureproofing enterprises by targeting those that are falling behind within the fast-moving landscape of digital infrastructure. The company ultimately aims to make it easier for these organizations to implement autonomous solutions for DevOps and cutting-edge IT infrastructures. To this end, they have recently been acquired by Puppet to even further scale solutions across the DevOps lifecycle.
