REMAIN SOFTWARE- LöSUNG FÜR IBM i
TD/OMS IBM I APPLICATION LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT
TD/OMS is an easy-to-use, flexible and cost-effective application lifecycle management solution developed by Remain Software for IBM i (AS/400), Windows and Unix/Linux software development and application modernization.
It integrates fundamental IT processes such as application life cycle management, version management, release management and software distribution & deployment. This supports your IT organization in optimizing change processes for any type of application, regardless of the complexity of the application environment.
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR SOFTWARE ASSETS
TD/OMS is a modular system that gives you complete control over your entire software life cycle process, providing a real-time overview of all software components and configuration. Compliance and audit requirements can therefore be met very easily due to the registration and history of all component movements.
TD/OMS defines applications and their associated IBM i as well as virtual, non-IBM i objects, such as 4GL functions and individual messages. Their dependencies and relationships are then dynamically resolved in a configuration database.
A “defined lifecycle” is set up around this database. It reflects the process that has to be completed with every software change. This usually consists of the steps that are repeated during a processing cycle of a software component. Therefore, this is not a one-time but rather an iterative process. It repeats itself until a software component has reached the end of its lifecycle.
After the control information is captured, daily operations are simplified for end users, IT managers, DevOps, programmers and application managers. TD/OMS supports daily operations, making extensive use of application and environment definitions. This reduces the number of decisions to be made at the operational level to a minimum. All deviations are registered in TD/OMS, which leads to an active way of working instead of a reactive one.
Built-in reporting features provide real-time information about how a change was implemented and managed.
