Software applications are everywhere in today’s enterprise. Applications now run the business and the business, and the business requires agility. But everything about applications is changing. Application teams that were once co-located are now virtual, global, offshore and outsourced. Development processes are evolving from sequential methods like waterfall, to flexible methods like Agile. And the technologies have changed from thin-client, self contained applications to complex composite applications that leverage cloud services and RIA.
As a result, building and managing applications today is more complicated than ever. In order to manage this complexity, IT organizations must optimize the entire application lifecycle, from inception to retirement. And managing the entire application lifecycle allows IT organizations to deliver applications quickly, securely and reliably.
