New Product Capabilities Support Collaboration and Manage Complexity in Global Systems and Software Development

You've probably heard the news by now—IBM has announced a number of comprehensive enhancements to its product portfolio. What's significant about this news is the tangible advantages they provide.

By using IBM's latest solutions, organizations will be able to deliver better products and systems to meet rapidly changing market dynamics faster than their competitors. These new enhancements will improve collaboration and enable better management of the complexity associated with a globally distributed enterprise. In addition, new change control capabilities for business process and enterprise architecture allow all stakeholders to properly assess the impact of change and help them collaborate more effectively with global engineering teams to drive change into the right development projects. With these solutions, customers move from development agility to business agility, deliver value back to the company, and transform change into a competitive advantage.

Significant product portfolio updates include:

  • Telelogic® Change™ 5.0: New capabilities that support global application lifecycle management (ALM 2.0) and enterprise-wide change control
  • Telelogic System Architect® / Change: Enterprise-wide change management process support, best practices for business process and enterprise architecture governance, and enhanced SOA workflow.

Build Better Systems and Software

The combination of application lifecycle management and model-driven development (MDD) creates a rich environment of connected processes and interacting solutions. These enhance communication, collaboration and coordination by breaking down existing information silos and by tightly integrating all aspects of the systems and software development lifecycle. New product capabilities for these key best practice areas extend traceability, automate processes, and provide consistent reporting that meets the needs of globally distributed development organizations.

Other global ALM and MDD benefits include:

  • Enhanced team collaboration and communication by breaking down barriers to information sharing
  • Wider visibility of and access to requirements across all business and development stakeholders
  • Accelerated development through simplified integration
  • Reduced maintenance time by synchronizing application and design
  • Maximized investments in skills, processes, and technologies that scale to the needs of a globally distributed ecosystem
  • Increased flexibility by reducing the time it takes to build and adapt applications that support new business initiatives
