Are your software projects stumbling over the deployment hurdle? If so, you are not alone. Many enterprise software projects struggle achieving consistent deployment across their environments – from Test to UAT to Staging to Production. Consistent deployments must account for differences between environments; coordinate development teams and environment owners; balance schedule pressures; and create the requisite audit trail. When these challenges are compounded by error prone, inconsistent and inefficient manual processes,  achieving a consistent deployment can seem impossible. The cost of this struggle is lost time, late breaking defects, and uncertainty.
