has developed a razor-sharp focus on the commercial
benefits of delivering better software in a faster and safer
way, and is often called upon to help senior decision-
makers. Steve is a qualified ski instructor, keen trail runner

Explore, Educate and Evolve
Even though some vendors have a very “product specific”
view of DevOps, what differentiates Ranger4 as an
independent consultancy is its ability to draw a roadmap
that concentrates on what clients need to achieve. Their
Explore services quickly establish an accurate view of key
stakeholders in getting the primary objectives fulfilled. The
firm focuses on the commercial realities and benefits, and
ensures that those objectives are at the heart of everything
they design. Their Educate services guarantee engagement,
organization and communication that bring everyone along
on the journey. Finally, their Evolve services provide a
consistent delivery of the roadmap with regular course
checking, feedback and measurement.
Helping Clients Find the Key Inhibitor to Facilitate
Change
Often, the clients tussle with their cultural challenges while
being a part of the change. Ranger4 helps them find the
missing piece of the puzzle and the key inhibitor to make
the change. It has developed a suite of tools like The
Phoenix Project Game and training in partnership with The
August 2017
DevOps Institute to help clients tackle the problems around
communication, collaboration, fear, blame, lack of
transparency, bureaucracy that organizations regularly deal
with. Moreover, Ranger4 has a strong commercial element
to its approach that helps organizations to be value-focused
and bridge businesses and the IT sector. It also helps
customers build The DevOps Loop TM by employing
DevOpsologists™ to make it possible for them to measure
and track the cost of a feature or idea through the
development and delivery cycle, and report on the real
business value it delivers in real-time.
Leading the Market towards DevOps Tomorrow
When asked about the role of their employees, Steve
answered, “Our Rangers create the success. Winning IBM’s
worldwide Beacon Award for Most Innovative DevOps
Solution Provider in 2015 and being the winner of the
worldwide DevOps Dozen in 2016 is a testament to the
resolve and creativity of your typical Ranger. We thrive in a
culture of collaboration, innovation, and delivery without
fear to admit things change outside of our control and to
adjust tactics and strategies accordingly.”
Ranger4 looks forward to continuing to lead the pack while
innovating ways to ensure its customers feel that DevOps
Utopia are within their reach. “Because if they are not
delivering better software faster and safer than they were,
their competitors will be,” concludes Steve.
