Software delivery is at the heart of today’s top
technology trends
Big Data
Cloud
Insights on new products by
more efficiently interpreting
massive quantities of data
Demand for apps requires fast,
scalable environments for dev
and test, as well as production
Social Business
Instrumented Products
Broader set of stakeholders
collaborates to deliver
continuous innovation
and value
Industry requirements demand
faster response to regulations
and standards, with traceability
and quality
Mobile
Modern workforce
expects constantly
updated software to
connect to enterprise
systems

Investing in Release Automation …
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
Speed time to market
Simple, graphical process designer, with built-in
actions to quickly create deployment automation
Reduce risk
Robust configuration management, coordinated
release processes, audits, and traceability
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.
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.
