Create Transparent Controlled Processes with Evolution

On Schedule and On Budget Projects

  • More than 60% of all software projects suffer cost overruns in excess of 200%.
  • Almost one-third of all software projects are never finished.
  • Over 80% of all software projects are considered failures.1

    And it's only getting worse. The magnitude and complexity of software projects increases every year. The size of development teams increases every year. The task of managing the development lifecycle therefore also increases every year. How can project managers stay on top of their project without sacrificing the efficiency and speed of their developers? The answer is segregating the three aspects of software configuration management:

  • Digital Asset Management
  • Development Workflow
  • Promotion Process

    By making asset management easy and reliable, allowing developers to work in a way that is comfortable, and giving managers the power to create iterative, automatic processes, you can ensure projects will on time and within budget.

    Lifecycle Transparency

    Create business process transparency with Evolution SCMs process automation and promotion system.
    Transparency: The full, accurate, and timely disclosure of information.2

    As applied to the software development lifecycle, transparency is:
  • The availability of assets
  • Metadata about assets
  • Information about the process controlling assets.

    Evolution provides tranparency at the development level with multicast real-time client updating, simple remote access over TCP/IP, and email notifications. Team members will always know the current state of the codebase.

    At the project level, Evolution's promotion stages and event triggers ensure that stages of process are adhered to, and human procedures are eliminated. By automating iterative tasks such as daily builds, room for error is reduced and deployment uncertainty is abolished.

    With Evolution, the who, what, when, where and why's of project management are always visible.

    Collaboration

    By enabling and facilitating teamwork, even across geographical boundaries, Evolution speeds the development cycle. Built-in, encrypted remote access eliminates the need for:

  • Virtual Private Networks (VPN) - Slow and difficult to administer
  • Web services - Requires more software, which means configuration and administration duties
  • Third party integration software

    Evolution handles this seamlessly, quickly, and invisibly.
