Software delivery is at the heart of today’s top
technology trends

Big Data Cloud

Insights on new products by Demand for apps requires fast,
more efficiently interpreting scalable environments for dev
massive quantities of data and test, as well as production

Social Business Instrumented Products

Broader set of stakeholders Industry requirements demand
collaborates to deliver faster response to regulations
continuous innovation and standards, with traceability
and value and quality
Software
Mobile delivery Intelligent/
Modern workforce Connected Systems
expects constantly Software component in
updated software to smart products driving
connect to enterprise increased value and
systems differentiation

A lack of continuous delivery impacts the
entire business enterprise in the new reality of
“Systems Of Interaction”

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.
