Strategic Drivers: Software Change Management

Maximizing software development team results by delivering a heterogeneous, open, and enterprise scalable software team

platform that has the lowest cost of ownership

Enhance enterprise capabilities, performance, and scalability of lifecycle change management

Facilitate distributed teams and remote workers with improved WAN access

Simplify administration and deployment to reduce cost of ownership

Provide an open solution built on industry standards


The Challenges SCM Solutions Address1. Managing Change to Software Artifacts

Developing, managing, and integrating thousands of changes to hundreds of thousands of software files to deliver a single consistent software application.

2. Integrating Lifecycle Activities

Managing the team’s work assignments and priorities to account for changing requirements, defects, enhancement requests, and test cases to maximize delivered features and maintain software quality.

3. Managing Software Teams and Metrics

Managing software projects and project portfolios to objectively determine current status and return on investment results. Removing barriers in team communication around project goals and project processes and procedures.

4. Build Management and Deployment Automation

Reducing application downtime and business interruption due to build and deployment errors in the “lifecycle gap” between engineering and operations.


Architectural Drivers

GOAL:

Enterprise Class Team Infrastructure with Lowest Total Cost of Ownership

Scalable from small teams to large multi-national distributed teams It means…a tools complexity, administration, deployment, and performance are

appropriate to the team size and application size

Easy to install, configure, learn, and use

Support for Open Standards

SWG Componentization and Reuse
