Modernizing Legacy Systems and Tooling

It can be frustrating dealing with legacy systems and the legacy tooling that goes with them. This talk will be a look at how we introduced a build system, updated version control practices and changed communication standards at a company with a previously-decade old toolset and mindset. We'll also examine how fragile server provisioning and rigid deploys were transitioned to a more fluid DevOps model. This resulted in consistent environments and a modern developer toolset. Together, these changes resulted in greater development velocity and a much smoother process from ticket to deploy.

This talk will be a look

Eliminate "be a," it's excessively wordy.

I would also suggest that you be more specific about what toolsets you introduced.
