IBM Tivoli® Release Process Manager provides a process-based solution to address the domain of Release Management as defined by Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). IBM Tivoli Release Process Manager automates complex deployments in the context of your overall release management process, allowing you to assess impact on your IT infrastructure and business critical functions before you release.

As a result, it enables you to efficiently manage new and upgraded software — as well as related hardware releases — for both server provisioning and patch deployment. This advanced productivity tool provides everything your IT operation needs to plan, schedule and deploy releases for any combination of software, hardware, firmware or document configuration items. And it helps you ensure that tasks are completed in the proper order by the appropriate IT resources. Automating and integrating release processes helps you minimize risk as well as protect production and test IT environments.

Tivoli Release Process Manager puts you in control of your software and related hardware releases to protect the enterprise IT environment and committed service levels. Out-of-the-box features like centralized reporting, workflows and templates allow you to manage release processes at your own pace. This helps you maximize the efficiency of your IT operations - from start to finish:

  • Conserve valuable IT resources by assigning critical and time-sensitive releases to the proper person in the release chain.

  • Speed completion dates and increase performance against service level agreements by making sure that releases related to business-critical functions and servers receive greater scheduling priority.

  • Keep the workflow moving, support communication between silos and execute critical releases cost-effectively and efficiently by obtaining a comprehensive view of release tasks being performed across the enterprise.

Because it is integrated with the IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database, Tivoli Release Process Manager delivers consistent release tracking, from planning to production, using a single tool. It integrates seamlessly with your existing operational management products, such as IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager for automating patch and application deployments; and IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for automating complex deployments across multiple servers.

Tivoli Release Process Manager also delivers out-of-the-box reports on key performance indicators (KPIs), to help align releases with your business objectives.
