I had an “interesting” chat with a potential client this week. The conversation started normally with myself and my colleague going through the benefits of our Test Environment & Release Management solution, and then continuing to a “show and tell”. However, I could tell the client was somewhat distracted and had something “greater” on their mind.
So, I probed slightly & the vision became apparent:“We want our Projects to Self-Service the Test Environments”
“OK”, I said, “can you provide me an example of which Environment?”“Yes … A Test Environment for Payments”?
“OK”, I said, “a bit like ordering a Pepperoni Pizza online?”“Yes, that’s right” said the client enthusiastically.
