Configuration Management
Within their Global Environment Management Suite, our client had a number of issues that needed to be addressed. These included, but were not limited to -
- Manually intensive environment scheduling and tracking process
- No central view of environment assets – hard to apportion cost and identify potential cost savings
- Multiple sources, redundancy of data
- Current project specific systems impossible to integrate
- Lack of central repository requires point solutions to automate gathering of environment data
- Inability to have an authoritative overview of End to End environments
- No recording of deployed labels
- No universal standard release process, which increases complexity and risk
- No central repository for build information
- Requirement to manage builds into release
Using the ADaM Framework the client was able to -
- Automate the scheduling and tracking process
- Obtain a centralized view of environment assets in pre and post production
- Identify multiple redundant components
- Report on all changes, updates, implementations and migrations
- Put in place a universal standard release process through the project functions within the ADaM Framework
- Significantly reduce the time to production due to the significantly reduced time for testing once the dependencies had been diligently mapped across the landscape
