Accelerate design and development
OverviewTo succeed in today’s marketplace, the ability to
rapidly build, customize and deliver high-quality busi-
ness solutions is essential. However, software proj-
ects often hit roadblocks or end up costing more
than budgeted. Geographically displaced “virtual”
teams are frequently unable to effectively collaborate
with agility, resulting in key design considerations
often being overlooked when building their
solution. The result is that organizations often find
themselves unable to leverage the full power of
IBM WebSphere® solutions because their software
delivery teams lack necessary skills, time, effective
collaboration or resources.
● Could your development teams benefit from an
environment that accelerates the development,
test and deployment of high-quality enterprise
applications customized for WebSphere software?
Check out IBM Rational® Application Developer
for WebSphere Software solutions.
● Is it possible to adhere to agile, formal or hybrid
development practices and maintain full project
visibility for effective management, even while
developing complex software in distributed
teams? Can you have lean work management,
source code management and defect manage-
ment integrated into a development environment
customized for IBM software? Check out
IBM Rational Team Concert™ solutions.● Can you manage the complexity of WebSphere
software solutions and their deployment? Can
teams design, deliver and deploy robust, scalable,
innovative solutions that leverage the latest tech-
nology and performance benefits of using
WebSphere software? To capitalize on your
WebSphere investment in your software delivery
shop, check out IBM Rational Software Architect
solutions.● Teams are often solving the same or similar prob-
lems, duplicating effort. The invisible threads con-
necting software outputs are too often stored in
someone’s head or personal desktop. Formal
handoffs between teams are often manual and
poorly managed. Can you benefit from an effective
asset strategy that helps maximize reuse and
existing asset visibility and management? Check
out IBM Rational Asset Manager solutions.

Accelerate design and development > IBM Rational Asset Manager
IBM Rational Asset ManagerIBM Rational Asset Manager software is a definitive
library management system you can use to catalog,
organize, use, reuse, manage and report on virtually
any type of asset for business, technology or soft-
ware across your enterprise. If your organization is
implementing business process management
(BPM) or SOA initiatives, asset management can
enhance them. Asset management keeps stake-
holders engaged in your BPM and SOA initiatives by
involving them in the governance of the BPM assets
and their relationship to solution assets. In addition,
governance for SOA development assets such as
models, code, Web Services Description Language,
or XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) improves
the quality of run-time services. They can be built
faster by reusing shared components, can be of
higher quality by ensuring that common definitions
and frameworks are used (such as an enterprise
definition of the customer XSD), and are designed to
meet service level agreement requirements from
producers and consumers.
Unlike stand-alone BPM tools and SOA registries,
IBM Rational Asset Manager software enhances
these solutions by governing the development
assets so solutions can be delivered with speed and
quality beginning with the initial design.
Catalog, govern and share assets for WebSpheresoftware using key integrations.● IBM WebSphere Business Modeler,
IBM WebSphere Integration Developer and
IBM WebSphere Business Monitor software inte-
grate with Rational Asset Manager software. Users
can browse, add and import BPM assets directly
from within their supported WebSphere products.● IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
and Rational Asset Manager software govern the
service life cycle from creation to consumption.
The integration supports publishing and synchro-
nizing the development SOA assets with their
associated run-time services, closing the loop on
comprehensive SOA governance.

Reduce cost of quality
OverviewSuccess or failure often depends on one thing:
whose product is of the highest quality? Moreover,
supporting business transformation through ongoing
innovation is essential—as is the need to optimize
results and control risk and cost while increasing
productivity of your WebSphere development. That’s
why it’s important to establish a more coordinated,
agile and transparent approach across the product
and service life cycle. IBM Rational quality manage-
ment solutions can help by offering a collaborative,
process-led approach, supported by integrated data,
tooling and real-time metrics for managing project
quality health for proactive governance.

requirements, gain consensus and then manage
changes? Check out IBM Rational Requirements
Composer software.
● Do you struggle with achieving quality goals and
ensuring that business-critical applications
address user requirements and performance
criteria? Check out IBM Rational Quality Manager
software.● Does your testing team struggle to keep pace with
development? Check out IBM Rational Functional

OverviewWeb compliance is complex and multidimensional,
involving not only security but also accessibility, pri-
vacy and even compliance with internal quality stan-
dards. And given the critical role the web now plays
in business, regulators and industry organizations
are continually adding rules and regulations
designed to protect customers and shareholders
and guarantee access to disabled users. The result
is that, in many industries, organizations must figure
out how to control costs while complying with strict
and evolving regulations. IBM Rational solutions can
help you address compliance in WebSphere appli-
cations while keeping costs in check.

Reduce software deployment and operational costs
OverviewAs your WebSphere environments grow, the
complexity of application deployments makes it
imperative for stakeholders, solution architects and
IT operations teams to be able to communicate
effectively to prevent risks and costly downtime.
Moreover, the switch to agile development has made
deployments a far more frequent occurrence that
must be automated to cut down on manual tasks
and IT downtime.
Deployment planning and automation solutions
from IBM can help you gain significant cost and
operational efficiencies in the development and
operations (DevOps) areas through an integrated
plan-automate-govern life cycle for your WebSphere
deployments. These solutions help you deploy the
right deliverables, with the right plan, using the right
automation. You can govern, catalog and share
application artifacts, standard templates and deploy-
ment plans. From the governed catalog, you can
plan your desired deployment using discovered
resources and standard configuration templates.
Planning helps ensure that the right solution deploy-
ment requirements can be expressed in an explicit,
formal and repeatable format (deployment diagrams)
that can be used to automate deployment and free
staff to work on more value-added tasks.

ware will be deployed on physical IT assets. This
helps ensure that your software solutions consis-
tently deploy correctly without a lot of rework. Smart
tools for discovering and representing infrastructure
help you maximize the use of your existing assets,
while the ability to store deployment information in
best-practice configuration templates allows repeat-
able deployments with reduced risk and effort.
Create a visual representation of how the software will be deployed.● Deployment artifacts representing WebSphere
servers, databases and different physical locations
where software will be deployed can be charted
out, and connections between these artifacts can
be defined.
Enhance communication between architects,developers and IT operations teams.● Allow IT to start planning in advance, reducing the
risk that there won’t be sufficient resources when
they’re needed during test and deployment stages
of software delivery.
