Facing the ChallengesThe world of business can no longer a�ord to ignore technological innovation. Governmental, regulatory and competitive pressures force rapid responses, involving changes to business processes and practice. Every change impacts on the software you rely on to execute those processes smoothly and e�ciently. Even a small change can have a signi�cant e�ect on existing processes.

This presents challenges when looking at the Application Lifecycle, which include:

Validata SAS for TEMENOS T24™

Validata SAS enables you to:

Integrate with existing project tools and processes seamlessly

Execute global and multi-site delivery through common project standards and parallel working

Have a centralised repository of all project assets through pre and post implementation phases

Signi�cantly shorten the testing cycle required to deploy your applications

Validata SAS bene�ts, include:

Empowers your team to increase productivity from the outset

Drives e�ciency and quality throughout the project

Reduces the cost of Development by up to 80%

Reduces cost and enables you to get to market quicker

Ensures higher product quality

Reduces overall cost of change

Improves project visibility and accelerates delivery

Reduction in Business users e�ort

Reliable operations

Integrating new technologies and approaches with legacy technologies that are often built by virtual teams spread around the globe

Greater regulation and a need to dramatically improve productivity and delivered quality add to the pressure

Creating e�cient coordination and automation of the delivery process that requires new collaborative approaches to the planning, measurement, control and reporting of activities

It is evident that by having a robust and integrated ALM approach

the bene�ts will allow you to protect your investment, reduce the total cost of ownership for your applications and maximize e�ciencies within your operations.

The SolutionValidata provides the technology solution and industry experience to resolve these challenges.

Validata SAS, the most integrated Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution o�ers collaborative software delivery with a common portal for many di�erent types of users. This allows users to come together on di�erent aspects ranging from: business process de�nition, change requests, requirements de�nition, test scripting, software development, build and release management. Even using di�erent modules and business logic, the associative data model at the heart of the solution brings it all together as one end-to-end product.

It brings true visibility, comprehensive dashboards and metrics and decision support to the entire process; ensuring the organisation has full control.

Validata SAS’s open framework, supplies the integration technology that connects to other third party tools and applications. This allows you to manage every application, and all of its interdependencies, from conception through implementation to maintenance.

Validata SAS is a comprehensive suite of modules covering the Application Lifecycle Management, which has been enhanced to speci�cally support your Temenos T24™ operations. Here we highlight some of the key functions:

Ensure business resilience in an increasingly fast-moving market with Validata SAS, the most integrated Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Solution for the Banking and Finance sector, enabling the management of your Temenos T24™ implementation, reducing project risk & cost and improving operational e�ciency.

Ability to Build Work�owValidata SAS provides automated work�ows which are easily con�gured and enforced through use of Transition Rules. The lifecycle of your requirements and change requests can be controlled at a high-level and de�nition of each step of the development process at a granular level. You can de�ne:

The change request path which feeds through automatically from one person to another

Rules for code review and testing, with the ability to enforce them, providing full transparency of the overall process

Validata SAS keeps a full audit trail of all work�ow events caused by the users, as well as recording the movement of all change management objects along the work�ow; which can be checked at any time.

Code Analysis Validata SAS code analysis includes:

Managing any number of builds through an automatic version and release control for each component

Tracking the builds, called baselines, highlighting the status of the work, requirements coverage and source versions

Organize all your deployment packages through a single repository with full transparency on what goes in which environment and why

Validata SAS’s centralised process helps you achieve automated and repeatable deployment, by:

Making ‘consistency checks for deployment packages to speci�c targeted environments

Performing an automatic rollback when a deployment failure occurs

Tracking every deployment executed on each environment, when and by which user

Reports JBASIC �les INCLUDEs and INSERTs, in addition to the current functionality of function and program calls

Includes functionality for advanced text �le search, for all �les in the project, or in folders of the project.

Build ProcessValidata SAS mitigates con�icts during the Con�guration Management build process by:

Remote Release ManagementFully automated Deployment (records, data, objects, versions)Role-BasedCustomizable work�ow con�gurationsIntegrity of the Build Pre-screening for any potential errors in any environmentRollback of changes upon failure or at user requestExtract/Deploy Versions – Binary Files Extraction and Deployment Multiple Catalogues support ( Multiple Versions )Independent staging area

Reduce Deployment errors associated with interdependencies between applications, software requirements, work packages, tasks and environments. Reduce defects and improve consistency in packages between hando�s across environments .Granular access controls ensure accuracy during package development, promotion, and deployment across environments. Reduce deployment costs through increased e�ectiveness and accuracy of distributed application rollouts across environments. Reduce downtime by ensuring consistency in con�gurations across multiple environments .Lower downtime costs through the ability to back out changes on demand or upon failures in any environment.

Environment ManagementValidata SAS Environment Manager, enables IT organizations to automate the process of application updates – patches, resulting in shortened release cycles, application con�guration alignment, and automated updates across any groups, sites, countries.

The main features are:

Support of waterfall, iterative processes and agile development

Maintenance of each software development activity at every project stage

Retention of a live-link between the requirements and development tasks with real time noti�cation

These are tracked from the original creation by business users through its business evaluation, planning, software development process, testing and build management, whilst retaining continued links of all artefacts that are created around this process. It will provide a constant high-level view of change requests as well as tracking the complete structure of objects through the practice of; requirements, tasks, test scripts, sources, data and builds.

Business Requirements and Change RequestsBusiness Requirements and Change Requests are managed through a practical and comprehensive framework allowing:

�g. 2 Impact analusis for the Build integrity

�g. 3 Change Request History and Audit Trail

�g. 4 Code Analysis Screen

Validata SAS Environment Manager ensures signi�cant bene�ts, including:

Validata SAS has a comprehensive and full capability for release management, versioning and source control.

In addition, it uses static code analysis to reveal usage links between routines and programs and to identify references to global variables. It o�ers valuable protection against inadvertent impact of other modules. Also, it can be used to measure the compliance to coding standards and good practices, given that the rules for making these checks are speci�ed by the customer.
