While many organizations want to use the public cloud, they aren't in a position to do so. With applications written decades ago and an offshoring strategy, companies need to invest in re-engineering applications for the cloud era. This is where Northern Trust found itself a couple years ago. In this podcast, you'll hear how Northern Trust began to modernize core software and build new functionality according to 12 Factor principles. You'll hear how they worked closely with Pivotal and Solstice to adopt agile and a cloud-native application platform, which now supports 600 developers. You'll also hear how they included compliance and risk teams at the financial institution into the automation process.

Transforming an IT organization from within is notoriously difficult, sometimes impossible. Instead, when going through digital transformation, many organizations decide to create brand new groups that can start from scratch. This sounds, easy, of course, but is full of all sorts of small tactics and moves that add up to big change. In this interview from Pivotal Paris 2019, Coté talks with Accenture's Regis Allegre about Accenture's program to help companies put New Tech Foundries in place. Don't forget to check out our upcoming conference, SpringOne Platform. It's in Austin, Texas, October 7th to 10th.

In our last podcast on chaos engineering with Tammy Butow , we learned about the basic concepts of chaos engineering, failure injection, and "game days." This time, Derrick Harris interviews Karun Chennuri (@karunchennuri) and Ramesh Krishnaram (@RKrishnaram) of T-Mobile about how they are applying this at T-Mobile, where they are running about 3,000 applications and nearly 40,000 containers on Pivotal Cloud Foundry-based platform. What they learned is that chaos engineering tools are not one-sized fits all. Read the full show notes here: https://content.pivotal.io/podcasts/making-chaos-engineering-real-for-pcf-at-t-mobile

We've all seen those Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys ("On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this product or service...") in our consumer lives. But what if platform teams collected NPS as a metric for developer satisfaction? In this episode, Mick Pollard (@aussielunix, which I totally mispronounced as "aussie linux"... think UNIX!) shares how using NPS shifted the mindset of a platform team. Instead of measuring on velocity, the team ran a simple NPS survey and was shocked at what they found. Mick shares what the NPS represents, as well as how to go about running the survey. He also shares what needs to happen before and after the survey to build trust with developers and turn the metric into impact. Tune in to hear his recipe for success.
