Make changes faster

ISPW helps an organization make changes faster because it:

  1. Provides a centralized view of every change component, across every platform, at every level
  2. Integrates development tools and fills the gaps between them
  3. Reduces the SCM administrator's workload

Implementation with a single click

Approvals are a critical step in the application life cycle. By interfacing with the Site's own security system, ISPW provides a simple way for approvers to interactively process a change.  Once approved, ISPW implements the logical change package across various physical platforms (i.e. mainframe, Windows and Open Systems), with a single command.  Roll back is just as easy.  This feature eliminates much of the redundant administrative effort that slows business changes.
 

Break through developer paralysis

Like other SCM tools, ISPW helps developers check modules out, do updates, test, and submit them for promotion. The really startling part about ISPW though, is that it is also a full IDE for developers. Tools are connected in a repeatable sequence to ensure every step is completed each time.  As staff move back and forth between coding, testing, debugging and production setup, ISPW ensures that the right information is passed from one tool to the next - eliminating countless hours of rekeying location, status and parameter information.  These standardized processes reduce errors while saving time.
 

Comprehensive Analysis

With ISPW, each developer can see every component of the application, how they are linked together and determine impacts on other systems.  The status and level of concurrent changes in other applications is also immediately obvious. Conflicts can be eliminated before they start.
