Improve productivity and quality across the service lifecycle

Success or failure often depends upon one thing: Whose product is of the highest quality? The quest for business transformation through innovation, the need for improved software quality to manage risk, and the demand to reduce costs, while increasing productivity mandates a more coordinated, agile, and transparent approach across the service lifecycle.

To balance this need to innovate, while improving productivity and quality, organizations require solutions that can:

• Apply intelligent, predictive capabilities across the lifecycle
• Automate manual hand-offs between software delivery and operational teams

Organizations are realizing a competitive edge when they orchestrate software delivery and operational team collaboration to achieve service level objectives:

• A global bank cut its software delivery costs by reducing the number of errors discovered at the final stage of testing and release by over 70%. It deployed a collaborative, iterative process that links requirements and testing more closely together.
• A healthcare company realized a 69% net reduction in the cost of rework, test preparation, and testing six months post deployment, working in one sixth the calendar time and one third the person hours.
• A telecommunications company reduced its average project cycle time by 76 days and completed twice as many projects over three years with an integrated delivery environment for asset sharing, reuse, and traceability between projects and teams.

• Return to overview: Speed innovation with an affordable, dynamic infrastructure for software
• Increase business flexibility with lower upfront and maintenance costs
• Maximize organizational agility to respond quickly to change
