Transform Software Development into a Managed Business Process
As part of the Software Delivery Optimization (SDO) vision, Borland Core™ SDP offers the first customizable and integrated process- and role-centric platform for application lifecycle management. It is designed to enable IT organizations to reduce their software delivery risk by transforming their software development into a managed business process for the delivery of high-quality software on time, on budget, within scope, and at acceptable quality levels.
Process- and Role-centric
Poor process adoption and the inability to improve processes over time has been a major reason behind software project failure and also high rework, maintenance, and software development costs, hindering business efficiency. Borland Core SDP differs from traditional approaches because it enables key roles within software development to create software as part of a managed process, increasing productivity.
The platform enables organizations to author or automate their development processes while providing a centralized repository and platform foundation that promotes information flow and cross-role collaboration on shared activities throughout the software development lifecycle, generating visibility and control over the process.
Secure and Distributed Development
Borland Core SDP manages secure access to software assets and deliverables across distributed team environments so that inputs across the globe can be effectively consolidated and coordinated to meet business expectations, quality benchmarks, and compliance mandates (e.g., HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II) and process maturity levels (e.g., Six Sigma,™ ISO 9000, and CMMI®).
