Software or systems development managers and teams must create an audit-ready infrastructure that minimizes developer burden and maximizes team collaboration. IBM Rational software offers a proven automation solution including:
Automated workflow - making it easy for the right people to do the right thing. Traceability - verifying that the validated requirements drive results. Auditability - capturing the "who, what, when and why" of all deliverables needed for audit reports. Validation - verifying that deliveries meet requirements and that software builds are complete and accurate.
In contrast to manual compliance management efforts, the IBM Rational approach provides a highly supportive team infrastructure that can improve productivity while automating the enforcement of software development best practices. Core products for the software development team include:
