In today’s hyper-competitive market, digital transformation isn’t optional. But the path to modernization is often blocked by critical TechOps challenges: soaring cloud bills, slow deployments, and constant security threats. These hurdles don’t just slow innovation—they put the entire business at risk.
As a global leader in cost-efficient technology solutions, BJIT has become the trusted TechOps partner for enterprises across Europe and Japan. We’ve seen every challenge, and we’ve built the playbook to solve them.
Here are the five most common TechOps challenges that derail transformation, and the proven strategies we use to overcome them.
1. The Challenge: Slow, Unreliable Deployments
The Problem: Your development team is shipping features, but getting them to production is a slow, manual, and nerve-wracking process. This lag between “code complete” and “in production” is a major bottleneck to innovation.
Data-Backed Insight: Organizations with mature DevOps practices deploy 208 times more frequently than low performers (GitLab, 2024). If your team is stuck in a cycle of manual builds and chaotic rollbacks, you’re falling behind.
The Solution: Implement a Robust CI/CD Pipeline
The solution is to automate the entire path to production. A well-architected Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline automates building, testing, and deploying applications.
- How we help: We build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, leveraging key tools for modern infrastructure:
- CI/CD Engines: Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps
- Containerization: Docker
- Orchestration: Kubernetes (a key technology for modern scaling)

2. The Challenge: Rising and Unpredictable Cloud Costs
The Problem: You’ve embraced the cloud, but your monthly bill from AWS, Azure, or GCP is climbing unpredictably. You lack the visibility to know what is costing so much and why.
Data-Backed Insight: Without a clear FinOps strategy, organizations can overspend on cloud services by as much as 30% (Gartner, 2024). These costs are often hidden in orphaned instances and over-provisioned resources.
The Solution: Proactive Cloud Cost Optimization
The key is to move from reactive cost-cutting to a proactive FinOps culture. This involves continuous monitoring, rightsizing resources, and leveraging modern, cost-efficient architectures.
- How we help: As an Official AWS Partner, our cloud-certified experts implement a full lifecycle of cost optimization:
- Strategy: We start with “Cloud Cost Estimation” and “Rightsizing.”
- Visibility: We implement monitoring solutions like Prometheus and Grafana.
- Efficiency: We design cost-effective serverless architectures using AWS Lambda (a core component of modern, cost-efficient infrastructures).

3. The Challenge: Pervasive Security Vulnerabilities
The Problem: Security is treated as an afterthought—a final “gate” that slows everything down. Your team is scrambling to patch vulnerabilities in production, all while trying to meet compliance mandates like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA.
Data-Backed Insight: The average cost of a data breach is now $4.45 million (IBM, 2024). Crucially, organizations with mature DevSecOps practices—integrating security from the start—can identify and contain breaches significantly faster and at a lower cost.
The Solution: Integrate Security with a DevSecOps Model
Security must be “shifted left,” integrated directly into the development lifecycle, not bolted on at the end. This is the core of DevSecOps.
- How we help: We build security into your CI/CD pipeline from day one:
- Automated Scanning: For example, we integrate tools like SonarQube (static analysis), Trivy (container scanning), and ZAP (dynamic testing).
- Comprehensive Oversight: We combine automation with our comprehensive SOC (Security Operation Center) and vCISO services to create a 360-degree security posture.

4. The Challenge: Brittle and Inconsistent Infrastructure
The Problem: Your development, staging, and production environments are dangerously different. This “configuration drift” means bugs are missed in testing, and deployments unexpectedly fail in production.
Data-Backed Insight: System downtime and misconfiguration-led failures remain a top operational risk (World Economic Forum, 2024). This “configuration drift” between environments is a primary source of bugs and deployment failures.
The Solution: Adopt Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Your infrastructure should be treated like your application code: version-controlled, repeatable, and automated. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) uses machine-readable definition files to provision and manage your cloud resources.
- How we help: We are experts in IaC tools, which are fundamental to our practice:
- Core Tools: Terraform and Ansible are used to build resilient, self-healing, and perfectly consistent environments.
- Proven Scalability: This approach is critical for multi-cloud strategies, allowing us to manage robust, identical infrastructure across both AWS and GCP.

5. The Challenge: The Widening Engineering Skills Gap
The Problem: The technology landscape is exploding. You need experts in Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and advanced cybersecurity. Hiring and retaining this talent is a full-time job, and your best engineers are burning out.
Data-Backed Insight: More than 70% of IT leaders cite skills gaps as a primary blocker to achieving their digital transformation goals (Gartner, 2024). The demand for certified experts far outpaces the available talent pool.
The Solution: Partner with a Specialized Managed TechOps Team
You don’t need to build a world-class team of 25+ certified engineers from scratch. A strategic partner can provide the deep, specialized expertise you need as a managed service, letting your internal team focus on building your core product.
- How we help: Our DevOps Managed Services provide an immediate infusion of deep expertise.
- Team Extension: We provide certified engineers to manage your Kubernetes clusters, operate your 24/7 SOC, and run your entire TechOps stack.
- Proven Experience: This allows you to gain the benefit of over 45 successful DevOps and Cloud projects without the hiring overhead.
Stop the hiring burnout. Augment your team with our DevOps Managed Services.
