COMPANY

Blackbird (http://blackbird.io/) (formerly PalominoDB)

PalominoDB and DriveDev, two of the industry's premier DevOps and database companies, joined forces in January 2014 to become Blackbird. Founded on a shared vision of creating products and services that enable companies to deliver value to their customers, we help our partners by taking advantage of agile development and processes to create velocity and scale.

Blackbird works with you to remove scalability bottlenecks, reduce manual effort, and create new capabilities that maximize velocity. We define the objectives and scope for a tailored plan with consultations, migrations, audits, robust data and database services, and DevOps essentials. We integrate with your teams throughout the synchronization processes, and provide you with a fixed-plan cost for completion. Blackbird takes a great amount of care to set up your business for the results you want, and even identify unrealized opportunities.

FOOD & BEVERAGES
