Companies under more pressure than ever to innovate too quickly while maintaining these operational stability in the always shifting digital world of the present day, thereby underscoring the ongoing struggle between traditional IT systems and the agile, team approach of DevOps. While DevOps shines in constant delivery, multidisciplinary cooperation, and a culture of experimentation, conventional IT frequently values control, predictability, and these hierarchical decision-making’s. Aiming to successfully incorporate DevOps concepts into conventional IT systems, this article investigates the alignment of two apparently conflicting paradigms. Supported by empirical case studies, we perform a conceptual analysis to explore the basic resistance elements in conventional IT, including rigid processes and the isolated teams, and show how companies have overcome these kinds of challenges by intentional cultural, structural, and technological changes. According to the studies, integration works best when companies adopt a tiered strategy including cross-training, executive sponsorship, and the building of shared KPIs matching development and their operations teams. Our findings show that breaking over this cultural barrier not only improves these system reliability and deployment frequency but also team morale and organizational agility. This article is a useful guide for IT managers hoping to transform their companies with a strategy that respects the fundamental traits of traditional IT while using DevOps' agility without interfering with important operations. Successful integration of these techniques improves firms' responsiveness to market requirements, lowers time-to-value, and creates more strong, future-ready IT ecosystems
