Abstract: 

You’ve embraced the DevOps concepts, found your sympaticos, established a solid technical ecosystem and culture, and even delivered some great early results with a first follower portfolio. Now, you have entered the mission-critical regulatory problem space at scale. The traditional DevOps “goodness” and culture have taken you this far. Now it’s time to scale, with a whole new set of regulatory and compliance constituents and technical maturity needs.

In this talk, we will share the “first contact” experience with the long established regulatory community as we embarked on delivering larger complex solutions and the challenges and compelling opportunities to transform that have unfolded to enable compliance as code from portfolio through production.
