The goal of release management is to deploy application changes into production without disrupting the business. But this process is usually performed manually and is inefficiently connected to the rest of the application lifecycle, leaving a critical gap between application development and operations as well as creating a backlog of changes that must be made. In addition to the risk of lost revenue and damaged business reputation, the software release management process often wastes millions of dollars in staff time struggling to remove the bottlenecks.
App Dev teams are increasingly adopting Agile development practices and producing many more releases with shorter intervals. While more releases are flowing in from Development, IT Operations and release teams are constrained by time, staff levels, and technology and are not able keep up with the increased number of releases. As a result, the backlog of changes is growing, and release deployment is becoming even more of a bottleneck which is delaying the delivery of key application deployments at a time when businesses rely on software for competitive advantage and innovation.
By automating release management, you can maintain software integrity and reduce costs and risk. Control your changes, improve business availability, simplify software audits, and free up staff time. Get rid of the bottleneck and dramatically boost your competitive edge.
