Achieve CMMi Compliance with Serena

Serena Application Release Management is a revolutionary application that dramatically simplifies the process of releasing enterprise software. Application Release Management ties together all your release processes—including processes that span multiple tools, development methodologies, or platforms—mainframe and distributed. With a unified release management process, you save time, money, and headaches.

Application Release Management uses an intuitive, browser-based user interface and industry-standard web services to coordinate activities across systems (such as ChangeMan ZMF, Dimensions CM, HP Quality Center, or Subversion), and teams (such as development and operations).

Simplify Compliance

Application Release Management makes it easy to comply with IT audit, quality and regulatory mandates through:

• Drag-and-drop process creation.
• Out-of-the-box release processes that you can easily modify to suit your own needs.
• Detailed capture of audit information, including support for digital signatures.

Reduce Operational Costs

Application Release Management reduces operational costs by:

• Automating all release activities, replacing previously manual practices with a structured, consistent workflow.
• Exposing the release process via an intuitive, browser-based interface. Stakeholders can keep tabs on release processes and even initiate release activities through a web browser or smart phone.

Minimize Deployment Risk

Releasing new packages and applications is risky. Application Release Management helps you minimize that risk by providing:

• Visibility into real-time information regarding development processes through a secure web interface, ensuring everyone on the team has the information they need to catch risks early.
• Automatic notification rules that ensure that everyone is aware of planned changes and no one is caught off guard as changes are moved into production.
