IBM has introduced several new software applications that will help clients create software applications faster across multiple development environments including cloud, mobile, and complex systems.
The company has upgraded its integrated software Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) application with extended design management capabilities to help software development team collaborate on the design and development of software with stakeholders from across the business.
The new CLM software ensures that software design is integrated with the rest of the software application development lifecycle.
CLM is built on IBM’s open development platform, Jazz, and brings together IBM Rational Requirements Composer, IBM Rational Team Concert, and IBM Rational Quality Manager in one application.
IBM has introduced a new approach, ‘DevOp’ in the cloud to help customers reduce time to market and automate changes in development test and production.
The company has also introduced several new development services on its SmartCloud hosted applications, including: IBM Rational application for Collaborative Lifecycle Management on IBM SmartCloud Enterprise; SmartCloud Application Services pilot; SmartCloud for Government; SmartCloud Continuous Delivery and SmartCloud Application Performance Management.
The Rational application for Collaborative Lifecycle Management on IBM SmartCloud Enterprise provides a cloud computing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) that is suitable for development and test, enabling access to secure virtual server environments.
SmartCloud Application Services pilot provides a pay-as-you-go service that coordinates activities across business and system requirements, design, development, build, test and delivery while SmartCloud Continuous Delivery provides a way to coordinate project development using DevOps methodology.
IBM SmartCloud for Government complies with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) security standards. It also offers CLM as a service through SmartCloud.
The SmartCloud Application Performance Management software provides monitoring and management capabilities, reducing expensive troubleshooting. It also provides free resources to focus on developing new services for customers.
IBM Rational CLM has also been extended to the IBM Mobile Foundation platform. The Enterprise Mobile Development collection includes Rational CLM, Worklight Studio 5.0, Worklight Server 5.0, Rational Application Developer version 8.5, Rational Developer for System z version 8.5, Rational Developer for Power Systems version 8.5, IBM Application Center 5.0, Android SDK and Emulator.
