• Better requirements. Enhanced business agility. Fast ROI. (00:03:20)

  Improving patient care while controlling rising costs is a challenge regularly faced by organizations in the healthcare industry. Emerging Health Information Technology has taken on this challenge by providing an application to physicians, clinicians, researchers, and hospital quality improvement staff which enables overall better patient care while increasing operational efficiencies. At the heart of their solution is better requirements management tooling and processes, with a focus on implementing agile methodologies to facilitate better collaboration and integrate user needs with business drivers. The use of Rational DOORS in their delivery process has enabled Emerging Health Information Technology to not only achieve fast ROI and increase speed time-to-market, but truly drive smarter solutions and better overall patient care.

• Quality and cost matter. Citrix recommends IBM Rational Performance Tester (00:04:35)

  As a global leader in virtualization and application delivery infrastructure solutions, Citrix realized it had an unacceptable level of production defects and performance issues; they were not able to maintain a high quality solution and that was proving costly to its business. Implementing IBM Rational Performance Tester software has not only helped Citrix to boost the quality, reliability and performance of its delivered applications but also to better predict the scalability of those applications for future use - something they had never been able to achieve before implementing IBM Rational software.

• Lifecycle Quality Management at Citrix (00:03:01)

  As a global leader in virtualization and application delivery infrastructure solutions, Citrix struggled with managing the increasing geographical, organizational and technical complexity in their IT software delivery environment. Looking for a more collaborative, transparent approach to software delivery that could improve the overall quality and cut the cost of software delivery, Citrix focused on identifying a solution that could integrate requirements to development and test. By implementing a collaborative quality management process powered by IBM Rational Quality Manager software, Citrix was able to achieve higher quality and predictable scalability across their portfolio of internal and external software solutions. On one recent project, for example, that savings translated to 40% less time testing because they were able to reuse some of the test assets created in a previous project.

• DevOps: Bridging the Gap between Development and Operations (00:04:03)

  In this video brief, Rufus Connell, VP of Research with global consulting firm Frost & Sullivan discusses the emerging area of DevOps. DevOps, which is the concatenation of the "development" and the "operations" sides of the IT family, represents a movement that seeks to close the gaps between these two groups via a combination of suitable approaches and technology. By bringing these two groups together, you can experience reduced error rates, less rework, a shorter cycle time and lower expenses required to bring a software product to general availability.
