Starting a business

- Automation of application release
What plan do you have in starting a business?
I plan to spend time to familiarise with the automation release softwares. This softwares are easily accessible on the internet. After gaining the necessary technical skills, I will create a startup and collaborate with Serena Software Pte Ltd which has quite a number of projects. I will do the small scale projects first to gain more credibility and get exposed to real life situations before proceeding to doing larger scale projects.
Past Experiences
Describe your past experience (entrepreneurship, or works in start ups, etc)
Having worked in Serena Software Ptd Ltd and dealing with some of the projects, I realised that many companies today are still manually deploying web application to the production server. This is a mundane process and incurs unnecessary labour costs to the company. Hence, I believe that there is a demand for the automation of application release.
