Assess Your Software Asset Management Maturity Level and Develop a Plan for Improvement
Managing the software licensing landscape within most companies is a complex task, which is made more complicated by the sheer number of contracts to be managed (hundreds, if not thousands) as well as the different types of licenses that must be administered. Industry trends such as virtualization, cloud, and increased flexibility in software licensing have added to this challenge, ensuring that the complexities associated with understanding and managing software assets continue to increase.
Ovum SWOT Assessment: CA Release Automation
Chandranshu writes that downstream software lifecycle processes, e.g. release automation, are getting increased attention due to trends like continuous delivery and continuous deployment. He says that release automation helps organizations avoid production issues caused by erroneous releases.
CA Release Automation can help organizations move towards continuous delivery, he says, and organizations considering DevOps adoption should shortlist it. Its tight integration with CA Service Virtualization, he adds, makes for a compelling offering for those looking to speed up application delivery.
Staying Agile with Big Data
Like any major technology project, organizations implementing Big Data projects face challenges with aligning business cases, selecting the right technology solutions, and mobilizing the right skillsets. Big data projects add some unique challenges to the mix. With growing awareness of the value of data, organizations must innovate rapidly in the use of that data to preserve competitive edge. And, as they implement solutions, they must contend with a technology base that is becoming a rapidly moving target.

Seven ways to fail: the business risk of inadequate testing
Network conditions affect the performance of applications in many ways. Research suggests that 70% of mobile transaction response time is spent on the network. This reality intensifies the need for comprehensive testing of software before applications go into production. Unfortunately, some common approaches to performance testing suffer from critical weaknesses that leave your business at risk.
Develop and test faster by virtualising constrained application components
Today’s consumers have grown up with the expectation that their digital experience is mobile, always-on, and easily enhanced. Consequently, we face a new style of IT that forces everyone involved in building, validating, and delivering applications to find new solutions for decreasing time to market, reducing defects in production, shortening software development cycle times, and enabling constrained testing teams to increase test coverage.
