Application Release Management

Building a high performing DevOps organization requires change. Leading this transformation will require both a change in mind-set and the tools required to help you control the environment and processes.

Understanding the DevOps technology stack is essential. Automation is the key requirement for continuous integration servers, environment provisioning and configurations, all the way up the stack to your application layers.

Attend this exciting webcast and learn.

- What are the common technologies in the DevOps space
- How to build a rock solid infrastructure and application automation framework
- How to achieve continuous deployment from development to production

Software updates are the main reason for application outages and downtime. To avoid the next failed deployment you need to learn how to master application deployment using automation.

Join Michael Schmidt, Senior Product Manager at UC4, as he uncovers five key areas for mastering the deployment process.

Attend this exciting webcast as we show you how to:

- Build a complete deployment from scratch
- Use continuous integration to package and build server integration
- What to do when deployments fail
- Handle environment / configuration drift
- Deploy to production

Application release is a core business process at your organization. Yet, for many IT shops, this important process is mostly manual—an approach that’s both costly and time consuming. Fortunately help is at hand.

Attend this information packed webcast featuring CollabNet Deploy with UC4 and learn about the technical and non-technical aspects of effectively delivering applications in today’s agile development environment. This webcast will also include a live demo and Q&A session at the end.

Register and learn how to:

- Extend continuous integration build with deployment automation
- Transform cumbersome application deployments into fully automated processes that take minutes
- Automate end to end tracking and reporting of all deployment activities and related changes
- Effectively collaborate between Development and Operations while maintaining segregation of duties and security
- Reduce risk of downtime by eliminating the “human error” factor from release and deployments beyond Dev and QA

Join Scott Willson, Sr. Solution Architect, as he discusses how to automate the release and deployment processes across the organization to eliminate the human error factor from deployment activities and reduce deployment times by up to 90%.

Register for this webcast and learn how to:

•Completely automate deployments and reduce manual efforts by 90% and more
•Integrate automated deployments with organizational release processes and avoid risk
•Reduce deployment and release related outages by up to 95%
•Gain 100% process and release compliance and audit – out of the box

Deploying enterprise Java applications is a pain! Luckily, new deployment automation technology can save you from spending stressful weekends and late nights deploying applications and patches.

Join Michael Schmidt, Sr. Product Manager, and Andy Cureton, Services at UC4, as they show you how to overcome the bottlenecks caused by deployment tasks throughout the application lifecycle.

Attend this webcast and learn about:

- Continuous deployment through integration with Jenkins/Hudson continuous integration servers
- How to promote applications from QA to staging and production with a single click
- How to automatically rollback back a release if a problem arises

Traditional application release processes based on running scripts or manual updates expose companies to risks of noncompliance with a host of industry and government regulations, such as HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, SSAE 16, SAS 70, PCI and Basel II.

Join Stathy Touloumis, Senior Solutions Architect at UC4, to learn how IT organizations can leverage new application release automation technologies to ensure regulatory compliance while keeping up with the pace of application changes.

Register for this webinar and learn how to:

1. Enable segregation of duties in the data center
2. Automate configuration change documentation and audit trail reporting
3. Achieve visibility into the end-to-end release process

Release cycles are getting faster and faster—but how can you keep up with them and remain the .Net guru everyone has become accustomed to? Join Michael Schmidt, Sr. Product Manager at UC4, as he demonstrates how to make your guru status scale to any number of deployments.

Agility has become essential in today’s connected and competitive world. Many IT organizations have adopted agile development methods in an effort to deliver better software quicker, however without solid release management processes and tools, missed deadlines and failed deployment are inevitable.

Watch Stathy Touloumis, Senior Solutions Architect at UC4, as he presents a framework for defining an end-to-end release management process.

In 30 minutes, attendees will learn how to:

- Plan and track progress of software releases
- Find potential release issues early in the process
- Develop strategies and approaches to optimizing the processes required to deliver business critical applications in every stage of the release process
- Effectively manage an environment where time-to-market is critical and failure is unacceptable

Implementing release management best practices in pre-production and production helps IT organizations increase release velocity and achieve a repeatable, predictable release process. Contact me directly with any questions.

In this 5-minute video learn how releasing and updating new applications on a timely basis is critical to your productivity and value creation. Watch this video and learn how to turn the application release process into a consistent, repeatable, and audible process.

Wesley Pullen, Vice President Global ARA Technologies for UC4, presented at Gartner's IT Infrastructure and Operations Management Summit on June 13, 2012, in Frankfurt, Germany. In his session, "Application Release Automation for DevOps: End-to-End Visibility, Control and Agility," Mr. Pullen discusses how traditional application release processes, based on running scripts or manual updates, expose companies to risks of non-compliance with a host of industry and government regulations (e.g. HIPAA, Dodd Frank and Basel II/III) and how new and unique release automation technologies address these challenges.
