Promoting Access to, and the Preservation of, Essential Resources with Rocket^® DevOps (formerly Rocket Aldon)

Company

Industry: Environmental Services

A global company providing essential services like water management, energy-efficient infrastructure, and waste management to communities worldwide. 

Challenge

Managing the IBM^® i application lifecycle while ensuring SOX compliance was hindered by code collisions, poor documentation, and limited visibility into application changes. This caused inefficiencies and delays in development processes.

The company faced significant challenges due to frequent code collisions, where multiple developers unknowingly overwrote each other's work, leading to delays and frustration. Inconsistent documentation added to the confusion, making it difficult for team members to understand or maintain the codebase effectively. Tracking program references became a daunting task, especially with the heavy reliance on code generators and contract developers who often lacked familiarity with the broader project context. The absence of robust automation tools further compounded these issues, slowing down development cycles, increasing inefficiencies, and introducing compliance risks that threatened to derail critical projects. 

Solution

Rocket DevOps streamlined application lifecycle management by automating documentation, tracking real-time changes, and preventing code collisions. 

With Rocket DevOps, the company streamlined its operations by automating documentation and reporting processes. This reduced the time spent on manual tasks while automation allowed the team to focus more on strategic development rather than administrative work. Rocket DevOps also enabled real-time change tracking, giving teams better visibility into ongoing updates and ensuring transparency across projects. Additionally, it provided robust tools for managing project modifications, which prevented developers from accidentally overwriting each other's work. These improvements not only modernized their workflows but also enhanced team collaboration and overall efficiency. 

Results

Rocket DevOps enabled this global resource management leader to achieve sustainability and cost-saving goals by improving team collaboration, preventing code collisions, and streamlining project visibility.
