Throughout this paper the levels of maturity of various components of Enterprise Continuous Integration will be described in the same way.

Pressures from the business are producing frequent, incremental releases that increase the number of applications needing to be released.

An organization considering the adoption of deployment automation will do so to meet its own business objectives. Some organizations may be focused on clear reporting for audit, while others will be focused on getting features to market more quickly.

In a continuing poll sponsored by UrbanCode, over 75% of respondents identified their deployment process as either “Entirely Manual,” Mostly Manual,” or “Mostly Scripted.” Relatively few indicated that they had push-button deployment capabilities.

Adapting and responding quickly to business needs is dramatically chang-ing how IT teams operate. Teams need to be responsive to business requirements, enabling companies to gain ground in their market and keep up with changes in technology.

"Helping enterprise IT developers, architects, and mobile development leaders select the right platform partners The mobile application development platform market continues to grow, evolve and mature in response to escalating customer requirements. Gartner has assessed 20 major vendors that enable enterprise IT developers to create mobile applications for customers, partners, and employees."

This white paper will examine why becoming a mobile enterprise may be the best choice for your organization, how cloud can help you accelerate your transformation into a mobile enterprise, and the important things to consider when designing a mobile enterprise.

To gain insight into successful mobile application development practices today, the IBM CAI surveyed 585 developers and development managers from nine countries. How do some projects deliver great applications? The secret lies in having the right team and the right approach.

UrbanCode Deploy provides extensive capabilities for configuring WebSphere Application Server (WAS) through plug-ins: Application Deployment for WebSphere - which enables the auto-discovery of WAS cells; and Middleware Configuration for WebSphere - which allows for management of WAS configurations. When combined, UrbanCode Deploy and these plug-ins enable a rapid, controlled method for continuous delivery to WebSphere Application Servers.

This white paper will discuss key tips for improving a release process and strengthening release management. Once the following practices are in order, the process can be enabled to keep up with the pace of Agile, and reduce the risks associated with rapid deployments.

In this e-book, you will learn how to gain faster application delivery with automated release and deployment.

Development, IT and even testing teams must do more in less time, increase the frequency of software delivery, and produce higher quality software. All of this without adding headcount. In response, enterprises are creating collaborative, cross-silo teams that reflect the interdependence and importance of every stage within the software delivery pipeline. The benefits are steadily visible.
