Abstract:

The hand off of applications from Applications Development to IT Operations is often a struggle for enterprise IT shops. Applications Development, with their focus on customer satisfaction and aligning with business, wants it to be easy to change the production environment. A primary focus of IT Operations is on protecting the production environment and is often reluctant to introduce changes that could potentially introduce instability. Organizations wanting to reduce the costs associated with putting changes into production, improve end-user satisfaction and business alignment, all the while reducing risks to the business caused by application failures, need to bridge this App Dev/IT Ops divide. These organizations need Release Management. This Webinar will explore the complexities of enterprise release management, and look at best practices for addressing this complex issue.
