The challenge

Where they started

The institution wanted to modernize how it builds software, with fine-grained control and visibility across every phase of the development lifecycle.

  • Development workflows needed to be modernized
  • Limited visibility and control across lifecycle phases
  • Manual reporting consumed developer and manager time
Our approach

  3. Quality

    IBM Rational Quality Manager handles test planning and execution, validating requirements at every stage.

  4. Deployment

    IBM UrbanCode automates continuous deployment pipelines on the IBM Jazz platform.
