"This pipeline will automatically perform all of your [insert line of business] testing, batteries included.
XYZ has signed off that if you get to the end of this pipeline you do not need to jump through any hoops to get to production." I would be screaming on a soapbox
There is too much process to know about a company to make any claim with any certainty and these companies will not tell you their process because you are a salesman, not their friend. Technology Sales is "Frenemys" at best and "Inherited Cancer" at worst.
Here's a pitch for OOP. If you do this you will have a line around the door:
"You can run this on your own internal cloud, public cloud, or mix of both. Hit the eject button and it will give you a [Docker, CircleCI, Jenkins, Travis] playbook to lift and shift your pipeline. Every app that goes through alerts each C?O that cares how it meets their KPI, Security Whatever, etc.
Set the bar as high as you want to get through the pipeline. Mission Critical? Core Business? Skunkwerks? This can be in the DMZ, this can't...you make the rules, we are the engine that enforces them."
I can tell you right now, your success will be predicated on Networking and Security teams that work together effectively and selling high enough to start the ball rolling.
We have this absurd "Throw paint at a wall and see what sticks" approach to doing business and then "People don't really want what I made" response when it fails. Look inward.
