¢ Increase development ), and mobile platforms, making them the best choice for process visibility across all organizations seeking to take control of and platforms delivery processes across diverse systems. With Rocket® Aldon Lifecycle Manager (Enterprise Edition), your Windows-, Linux-, and UNIX-based development, change management, and deployment processes become predictable, scalable, and repeatable. Streamline your entire development process, boosting productivity and efficiency The enterprise edition of Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager (LMe) streamlines your entire development workflow and establishes repeatable, automated change management and compliance processes. The software helps you improve productivity and efficiency by automating and managing everything that happens in the software development lifecycle from the time a change request is received until the time the solution is delivered into production. LMe pairs seamlessly with Rocket® Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM i Edition) to manage deployments across your enterprise, and is the best ALM and DevOps solution for customers running on multiple platforms such as IBM i, Windows, Linux, and UNIX.

LMe reduces developers' administrative burden by logging all actions and automating compliance requirements. Rocket Aldon Report Manager, which is also included with every LMe license, simplifies and accelerates creation of compliance documentation. Users can generate on-demand reports such as task summary, activity summary by release, release summary, promotion and checkout activities by object, or permissions by release or by user. Auditors can easily view system-tracked information, verifying the integrity of your production environment and processes while generating new ad hoc reports as required. These automated reports allow engineering to focus on building quality applications, rather than documenting compliance.

Reduce the complexity of your deployment processes Deployment of applications and their associated files is usually an error-prone, manual process. The Rocket Aldon Deployment Manager module automates every aspect of software deployment, helping development teams save time, reduce risk, and eliminate errors. It packages and distributes files to designated target locations in each stage of the development cycle, whether the files are source code, build results, graphics, documents, configuration files, or web pages. The automated process saves cycles, provides end-to-end insight and verification, and automatically enforces compliance and IT best practices. You can deploy virtually anything with confidence to UNIX, Linux, Windows, IBM z Systems mainframes, or IBM i platforms. The LMe interface provides visibility into the central secure repository, allowing users to browse through any application and view all of its contents. The customizable display clearly shows each component that is resident in each of the software lifecycle environments and who is working on it.

The Web Portal provides real-time deployment monitoring, backout functionality, and the ability to view reports on target computers. It also lets project managers and other non-technical users hold roles independent of your development team, enforcing separation of duties.

The automated capabilities of Report Manager make it easy to show exactly who has authority to perform which operations, shortening preparation time to document compliance.
