While re-defining the method of software delivery in varied environments, IBM has announced new software based on Jazz collaborative technology. The company announced 20 such products to help geographically distributed software delivery teams work together in an open manner to offer effective software solutions. In today's fast environment it is necessary to keep up pace with globalization, which makes it difficult for non-IT stakeholders to understand the way the software delivery system functions. Now, Jazz-based technologies allow customers to enhance their ability to communicate data within and between their enterprises.
Commenting on this scenario, Steve Robinson, VP, Worldwide Sales, Rational Software, IBM, said, "Currently, organizational, geographical and technical silos inhibit business agility and return on software investments. In a globally integrated enterprise, organizations need to transform how they collaborate to get the job done. IBM's Jazz platform breaks down location, infrastructure and organizational barriers, transforming the practice of global software delivery."
IBM is incorporating social networking and Web 2.0 practices into the new versions of its market-leading software delivery platform. According to Forrester Research, only 37% of stakeholders are satisfied with the speed of internal application development, and just 42% are satisfied with the quality. The new IBM software will help development teams of all sizes improve productivity and manage project requirements in real time.
Available from July, IBM Rational Team Concert incorporates social networking technologies, such as instant messaging and presence awareness, into the management of a software delivery project on a global scale. It helps software teams collaborate in real time in the context of specific roles and processes.
IBM is introducing IBM Rational Requirements Composer to help software delivery teams gain consensus on how a project should be designed using familiar business artifacts such as storyboards, sketches, scenarios and models. Currently in beta, this new software will help teams visualize commitments thereby reducing rework and review cycles on requirements.
The new beta of IBM Rational Quality Manager provides a single view into all aspects of a quality plan. With 100% distributed access and Web 2.0-based collaboration, this new software trace where a project stands in the software delivery cycle to help key stakeholders prioritize issues for resolution.
IBM is developing Jazz and future products in conjunction with the software development community at www.jazz.net. At Jazz.net, members of the community can transparently collaborate, provide input on requirements, report bugs and ultimately contribute to the development of IBM's industry-leading software delivery platform. The Jazz.net community will drive the evolution of standards and common components incorporated in future IBM software releases.
