Achieve Automation & Auditability in Software Deployment with Release Management

Can you reliably manage the IBM i development activities of today and tomorrow?

The average IT organization processes hundreds to thousands of change requests weekly. Managing this level of application change requires automated and controlled processes to guide change from inception to deployment.

MKS Integrity bridges the communication and traceability gap between Development and IT Operations, providing software release management that eliminates confusion and delivers the documented and automated controls necessary for regulatory compliance. With secure, robust and flexible staging and deployment of change from development, through testing to production, it brings repeatability and auditability to the software release process.

MKS Integrity can answer critical questions for IT:

• Were the changes sent to development put into production? Do the changes delivered to production conform to the requests of the business?
• How can we reduce the manual effort and time to delivery involved in software development?
• How do we ensure compliance and demonstrate to auditors that appropriate levels of control are in place? Can we ensure only authorized changes go into production?
• How do we reduce the risk of deployment failure and ensure a high quality of service?

What makes MKS Integrity for Release Management Unique:

Process-driven automation minimizes risk to business systems
Through a process-driven approach MKS Integrity reduces risk by automating all manual, tedious and error-prone tasks that contribute to disruption of production systems. Unrivaled support for change rollback and restoration ensures that failed deployments do not result in a partial or incomplete software change.

Process enforcement and audit trails help meet compliance requirements
Workflow-based approval cycles and role-based security enforce separation of duties and ensure only authorized changes go into production. All software deployment activities are logged for auditing and reporting purposes, and formal approval is supported for promotions, demotions and deployments.

Enterprise scalability and flexibility
Flexibility allows for deployments to be full or incremental, scheduled or immediate, and templates ensure the repeatability of deployment scenarios. Scalable software release management processes are proven to scale to hundreds of server deployment targets.

Reduces the complexity of coordinating multi-platform software releases
MKS Integrity seamlessly manages the release of software change across Windows, Unix, Linux, IBM i and System Z.
