This strategic deal will define a new standard in software delivery, enabling companies to innovate faster and more efficiently.

Organizaztions and companies have to adapt quickly to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

Harness’ goal is to transform software development and deployment, ensuring every team can deliver code to its users quickly, reliably, efficiently, and securely. With this acquisition, Harness reaffirms its commitment to enhancing its comprehensive software delivery platform, built with best-in-class product modules, to drive innovation and boost developer productivity.
