Pros
We at SurePayroll are now using new tools like JIRA, Confluence & Git. We are breaking our monolithic application into Micro services, we are using RabbitMQ, SOLR, we are planning to deploy using Dockers. Within 1 year, entire landscape has changed. The IT department has gone from slow paced to working on cutting edge & fast paced. We are even planning to build our UI using Angular 2.0. QA team is focused heavily on Automation using Selenium. Under new leadership in IT, there is renewed sense of urgency and this is good. For last few years, I feel we were slowing down and now we are getting back to be a top player. If we continue like this, we will be one of the most innovative company in Chicago area.
Cons
Developers are taking little more time to learn newer technologies. But we will get this done. Part of change at SurePayroll.
