Actionable Insight for your IT Big Data – HP Operations Analytics

ALM QC 12.55 has just been released in August, providing enhanced features and benefits for Application teams, end users and ALM admins working together to deliver high quality applications with confidence.

Join us as we review the key newly released capabilities of ALM/QC 12.55 and walk through a live demo.

ALM/QC 12.55 Highlights include:

•Test board enhancements providing improved user experience for test management and execution
•Support for Quality of Things (QoT) – ALM client for offline/online Internet of Things (IoT) & device manual testing
•Improved collaboration through integration of Skype for business
•Upgraded administration with ability to back up large files
•Synchronization tools connecting ALM to other management tools such as JIRA, TFS and RTC

We will also discuss the benefits of ALM Octane – our next-generation ALM product with Agile and DevOps capabilities built in, and how you can get started today!

Agile works well for small, co-located teams that can hover around sticky notes on a Kanban board, and collaborate on-demand. But as initiatives become more complex, and teams become dispersed, Agile can be difficult to scale across the enterprise.

What’s missing in Agile practices today is the ability to see the whole picture. With user stories as the source of record for an application, it’s hard to connect all the dots to see the complete functionality of a feature or capability. Think about the new team who will be developing additional features on that capability - where can they learn everything it does today? How will they know the impact their changes will have on that capability or potentially other capabilities? How will they collaborate on those changes and get them reviewed in a timely manner? How will your business stakeholder understand the impact of new those changes to the overall business process? Storyteller provides a centralized reusable searchable repository of exiting business and technical process models and requirements (business, non-functional and regulatory). In addition we also offer rich visualization, collaboration and review functionalities. These base capabilities are being used today to address the questions above. And - we do it in a way that everyone can understand from Business Stakeholders down to developers and testers.

Storyteller is a key player in Enterprise Agile. We bridge the business gaps in the current agile process. For companies struggling with Agile Transformation, we providing guardrails around writing user stories and feature decomposition. Project teams can save time and effort by using our user story and test plan generation which can them be automatically synched over to ALM tools. We are also a key player in the BizDevOps chain by providing that upfront business alignment so what is produced though “Dev” and delivered and maintained by “Ops” is exactly what “Biz” wanted.

Network engineering and operations teams face a complex, moving target. But unfortunately, they’re typically armed with only a disparate collection of management tools - with little or no integration. Network teams deal with equipment outages, slowdowns, security breaches, inability to reach resources, access denials, and other issues that can be caused by anything from a bad connection to devious hackers.

To address these challenges, we are now offering the 5th suite in the ITOM portfolio – Network Operations Management (NOM). Combining the functionality of Network Node Manager i (NNMi) and Network Automation (NA) and additional suite functionality such as reporting, NOM represents our path forward to managing web-scale networks with their evolving mix of physical, virtual, and software-defined networks.
Join this webinar to get an in-depth understanding about Network Operations Management including:
•Enhanced workflows designed to drive productivity and reduce
•Ongoing capability and content enhancements for both the suite and standalone products
•New licensing models to enable upgrades at an average of half the cost of a la carte purchases

Accurate software asset management (SAM) is critical to a company’s IT operations in order to optimize usage and cost, and ensure that license compliance is achieved to avoid true-ups and penalties. Keeping a company’s software application library up-to-date for SAM has been a continuous struggle for asset managers given the time it takes for manual entry of new titles, the changing information in software titles, and the sheer number of titles across an enterprise organization. Every software title not recognized in their library causes potential license compliance breaches (leading to true-ups and potential fines) and reduces an organization’s ability to optimize their software license usage for cost optimization.

Micro Focus (HPE Software) has added the industry leading IDOL unstructured search engine to add machine learning to Universal Discovery, drastically improving in the process of software license recognition and teaching for quicker software license recognition and a consistently up-to-date SAI over time. Join us on September 13th for an introduction to this exciting new capability and to understand the business value it can bring to your SAM program.

In this web seminar, you will learn how to:

Measure Mobile and Web Applications by tracking and measuring the real User Experience like your users
Focus using Sentiment Analysis on what matters to your users by identifying and prioritizing tasks that affect most of your users, or critical functionality, that negatively impact User Experience
Improve speed of troubleshooting by spending less time tracking down problems and isolating problems down to the specific line of code, SQL statement, Ajax request, or log message

Is your business challenged with competing priorities and resources when it comes to application security testing and the need for more rapid application development? Are you impacted by costly and cumbersome remediation of security issues? In a world of competing requirements, how can your application security keep up with the rapid pace of development, while remaining effective?


Using lessons learned by working with some of the most advanced and innovative application security customers / programs, this webinar will cover:

Automation - where modern security tools are being included in the “treat infrastructure as code” mantra.
How development organizations have made static and dynamic analysis of applications more efficient and effective.
How to integrate application security throughout your software development lifecycle and the DevOps tool chain of automation using the Fortify Ecosystem.
How to gain visibility into production application behavior and exploits via low-impact Continuous Monitoring.
How to protect security flaws in production to buy time for true remediation.

More IT and computing is moving to public networks such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Increasingly, internal/private IT is being restructured to provide similar services.
