Computer Associates (CA) will integrate its change and configuration management software offering - AllFusion Harvest Change Manager - with IBM`s e-business development environment, WebSphere Studio. According to CA, the move is designed to enable organisations to maintain the integrity, and improve the quality, of their e-business applications.
"As businesses push information technology to quickly deliver competitive advantage in the e-business environment, time-to-market is more critical than ever," says Willie Bezuidenhout, Business Technologist at CA Africa.
"In the face of such accelerated development cycles, the integration of a robust change management solution into e-business development processes is essential to ensure optimal organisational efficiency and application quality."
Bezuidenhout says the integration will provide IBM WebSphere Studio developers with seamless access to the software functionality of AllFusion Harvest Change Manager.
"Unlike many other change management products, AllFusion Harvest Change Manager will enable IBM WebSphere Studio application developers and managers to establish customisable software development life cycles," he says.
These life cycles tie IT development to business processes and reduce the risk and time-to-market associated with developing and deploying new systems."
According to Bezuidenhout, AllFusion Harvest Change Manager is already a strategic component of CA`s current development environment, designed to ensure that mission-critical systems are developed and maintained quickly and according to exact standards.
