Speeds and Controls Change Management With Rocket^® DevOps (formerly Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager)

Company

Industry: Financial & Banking 

Fidelity Investments, founded in 1946, operates across nine countries and serves as the world’s largest independent fund management organization. Their long-standing commitment to cutting-edge technology ensures they meet business objectives and customer expectations. 

Challenge

Fidelity faced increasing complexities in their change management processes as their development teams expanded globally. The growing number of distributed systems and test environments made rollouts more time-consuming and error-prone.

The organization struggled with maintaining effective collaboration and control across multiple remote teams. Developers often encountered inefficiencies when managing multiple software releases progressing through the lifecycle simultaneously. Adele Ebbage, senior systems manager at Fidelity, noted the essential need for synchronization and reliable source code control tools to overcome these challenges. 

Solution

Fidelity implemented Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM^® i Edition) to automate and streamline their change management processes. The solution integrated with remote systems and allowed developers to use their preferred tools while simplifying deployments.

Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager brought efficiency and control to Fidelity’s IBM i environment, streamlining development and deployment. It automated key tasks like assigning responsibilities, managing approvals, running tests, and pushing changes to production. Customizable dashboards gave teams clear project visibility, making it easy to track tasks, monitor changes, and manage deployments across remote IBM i machines. This improved oversight, reduced manual work, boosted collaboration, and ensured faster delivery of high-quality software. 

Results

With Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager, Fidelity achieved faster deployments, decreased errors, and simplified multi-release management, all while empowering their distributed teams. 

Since adopting Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Manager, Fidelity has greatly improved development efficiency. Automating repetitive tasks allows teams to focus on strategic work, while collaboration tools enhance communication and alignment. The streamlined deployment process speeds up project delivery, ensuring faster time-to-market for critical updates. Custom dashboards provide real-time visibility into project status, helping managers track progress and address bottlenecks. They also help prioritize change backlogs to ensure updates align with organizational goals. Rocket Aldon is now central to Fidelity’s innovation and operational success.
