Deployment services provide a clearly defined roadmap for implementing industry-standard software development methodologies using Rational tools. Leveraging the principles of RUP consulting, these service offerings combine planning, consulting, training, and mentoring to provide a proven method for successfully deploying Rational products and effective software development practices to your team or organization.
Each deployment service offering follows a defined set of activities, beginning with deployment planning in coordination with a designated project manager from your team. Then with the assistance of your IT department, the computing environment is assessed to determine where each of the software components should be installed for optimum performance, and these decisions are captured in a specification report.
Next, the usage model (the manner in which the tools and practices are to be used to meet your team's needs) is defined and documented, and the tools are installed and configured according to the decisions made thus far. The new environment is then made available to users, who are trained on basic operations and mentored as they begin to use the new tools and processes in their daily work.
After your team has used the new environment for at least 30 days, an IBM Rational consultant returns to your facilities to assess how your team is doing and, if problems are found, to recommend solutions to help you realize the full benefits of the Rational solution.
