Many enterprises use multiple development tools to manage the ever increasing complexity of software development. Most of these tools are very specific in nature and focus to solve a single problem during a particular phase of the development Lifecycle. However well these individual tools do their specific jobs, enterprises nevertheless face serious challenges to deliver the software with a required quality, within time and budget and with high acceptance from the user community. These challenges include defining, implementing and enforcing processes for the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which cuts across multiple silos - Geographical (San Francisco, Boston, Bangalore), Organizational (IT, business unit, outsourced vendor), Technology (.NET, Java, mainframe) and Functional (business analysts, development, testing). To address these universal challenges faced by the development organizations, a discipline known as Application Lifecycle Management or ALM is growing in importance. ALM is a discipline as well as a product category which in addition to supporting specific life-cycle activities; also keeps them in sync; and it doesn’t live exclusively in individual tools but in the integrations and data and process exchanges between them. It is this precise value proposition that Kovair Global Lifecycle Enterprise Edition offers to its customers and is briefly outlined below. Kovair Global Lifecycle Enterprise Edition consists of three components: - Kovair Lifecycle Applications - Omniprocess Workflow Engine for IT™ - Omnibus Integration Bus for IT™
