Introducing UrbanCode
Enabling clients to more rapidly deliver mobile, cloud, big data and traditional applications with high
quality and low risk
Drive down cost
Remove manual effort and wasted resource time
with push button deployment processes
IBM UrbanCode Deploy automates the deployment of applications,
databases and configurations into development, test and production
environments, helping to drive down cost, speed time to market with
reduced risk.
Speed time to market
Reduce risk
IBM UrbanCode Release is an intelligent collaboration release
management solution that replaces error-prone manual spreadsheets
and streamlines release activities for application and infrastructure
changes.
Robust configuration management, coordinated
release processes, audits, and traceability
https://www.ibmdw.net/urbancode/
Simple, graphical process designer, with built-in
actions to quickly create deployment automation
Continuous Delivery Pipeline
IBM DevOps Solution
IBM’s DevOps solution is built on an open standards based platform and a set of
services which enable clients to leverage open source and third party tools

Driving Down Costs
Speeding Time-to-Market
Release process required considerable effort
and delayed by manually-introduced errors
Significant delays getting application
changes to production
 Solution: Automated release process
 Solution: Scaled up continuous deployment
 Results: Cost avoidance of over $2.3M/year,
reduced release time from 2-3 days to
1-2 hours and virtually eliminated test team
“down-time”
 Results: Deployment time reduced by
over 95% with easy scale and deploying
to over 250 servers within 2 months
of implementation

Speeding Time-to-Market
Reducing Risk
Agile development teams constrained by
slow deployment to dev and test environments
Difficulty managing multiple customer
configurations and versions of software
deployed across servers
 Solution: Accelerate deployment by enabling
development teams to self deploy with
automation
 Results: Deployment cut from hours to
minutes, to a greater number of servers, with
fewer resources
 Solution: Automate managing configuration
and version deployment
 Results: Execute customer specific releases,
reduced deployment outages by over 90%
IBM Release and Deploy Value Proposition
UrbanCode compliments IBM DevOps solution enabling clients to more rapidly deliver software
IBM DevOps solution helps clients:
 Reduce errors: Automated software release and
deployment
 Improve productivity: Push-button deployments for
developer and operations
Application Blueprint
 Faster time-to-market: Automated release and
deployment with built-in best practices provides
 Compliance and auditability: Enforced Security and
traceability
Versioned
Artifacts
UrbanCode Deploy orchestrates and automates the
deployment of applications, middleware configuration,
and database changes into development, test and
production environments, accelerating time to market,
driving down cost while reducing risk.
UrbanCode Release transforms error-prone and
chaotic release planning into streamlined release
events, replacing spreadsheets with a collaborative
solution that eliminates breakdowns in communication
enabling more frequent releases at lower risk.

Release planning and orchestration
 Qualify with one question:
 Do you have large monthly or quarterly releases that take hours/days and
require dozens or that hundreds of people to get on a call?
 UrbanCode Release delivers
 Plan the release day
 Execute the release
 Communicate what’s going on
 Allocate environments to
releases
 Tie release back to
development
