Accelerate delivery of quality software

Delivering innovative, quality software means unifying teams spread across time zones, geographies, processes, platforms, tools and an extended supply chain involving contractors and vendors in outsourced projects. The IBM Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management is built on the unifying, open IBM Jazz platform and is designed to deliver effective application lifecycle management (ALM) for traditional, agile or hybrid teams.

Start with any of the seamlessly integrated capabilities and templates: requirements management, quality and test management, change and configuration management or design management and extend as your needs evolve to achieve these five imperatives for success:

Maximize product value with in-context collaboration
Accelerate time to delivery with real-time planning
Improve software quality with lifecycle traceability
Refine predictability with development intelligence
Reduce costs with continuous improvement

Faster, easier, incremental deployments and adoption of CLM is possible through:

New enhancements including affordable licensing options for smaller teams
Reduce risks and speed deployment with proven implementation techniques
Building an efficient compliant software development environment
Enhanced out-of-the-box and customizable reports
Unifying existing investments by connecting 3rd party and open source tools to the Rational open platform with Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters
Reducing capital, licensing operating and labor costs with IBM SmartCloud
Accelerating SAP deployments and upgrades

The solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management is also a core part of the IBM Mobile Development Lifecycle Solution along with a mobile application platform that enables the development of cross-platform applications without the use of code conversion.
