IBM Rational Asset Manager offers a definitive library to help organizations manage and govern the business and technical assets involved in software and systems delivery. An asset is one or more published workproducts shared or referenced across the organization that meet a recurring business or technical need, and have a positive economic value to the enterprise.
Important assets provide a solution to a problem, yet they are of little value unless they can be found, used, reused, improved, measured, and governed. Rational Asset Manager enables your organization to efficiently govern and reuse all types of assets in a distributed development environment. Rational Asset Manager offers flexible pricing and licensing models that suit a wide range of organizations, ranging from small businesses to large-scale enterprises.
