Summary: What is the WASTE we are trying to remove?

Manual Efforts

• Deployments require human intervention

• Reliance on scripts

• Environment configuration is done on an “as-needed” basis

Long Wait Times

• Teams waiting on manual handoffs

• Resources not available when needed

• Delayed time-to-test

• Insufficient notification

Unproductive Work

• Using static environments

• Deploying things that have not changed

• Managing infrastructure & apps separately

• Not leveraging virtualization & cloud correctly

Poor Visibility

• Reliance on spreadsheets, meetings, con calls to know status

• Limited understanding of deployment dependencies and status

• Long Outage windows

UrbanCode for Release and Deployment automation

Drive down costReduce amount of manual labor, resource wait-

time, and rework by eliminating errors & providing

self-service environments

Speed time to marketIncrease frequency of software delivery through

automated, repeatable deployment processes

across development, test and production

Reduce riskRobust configuration management, coordinated

release processes, audits, and traceability

Enabling clients to more rapidly deliver mobile, cloud, big data and traditional applications

with high quality and low risk

IBM UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns is a full-stack environment

management and deployment solution that enables users to design,

deploy and update full-stack environments to multiple clouds

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.

The transformation: Copyright Clearance Center’s developers were

using an agile software development process. However, the deployment

procedure was becoming a bottleneck. The company automated the

release and deployment of its software and database components

using IBM® UrbanCode™ software, eliminating the need for release

planning sessions.
