CA Change Manager Enterprise Workbench

CA CMEW® enables organizations to automate the software development process and integrate application change management functions across multiple platforms. CA CMEW allows authorized users to access information about both distributed and mainframe development from anywhere in the enterprise. Users can view projects and review packages that are awaiting their approval.

CA CMEW includes CA's SOA Integration Bridge that can integrate your Project Management, Service Desk, and Testing Tools into a unified change management system.

Benefits

Regulatory mandates, changing business needs and the demands for consistently high levels of IT services drive the need for a cohesive approach to software change management. The task of managing and auditing system changes is increasingly important as organizations seek to maintain compliance with industry best practices like CMMI, the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley act.

The CA Advantage

CA CMEW provides a best-practices based solution for synchronizing application development activities between distributed and mainframe platforms. CA CMEW lets you maximize resources, optimize processes and ensure alignment of IT. Part of the CA Change & Configuration Management solution, it underlines CA’s vision for Enterprise IT Management (EITM) — to help unify and simplify IT management across the enterprise.

CA Change Manager Enterprise Workbench: The Challenges of Managing Critical Cross-Platform Development

In today's continuously evolving IT environment, CIO’s and application development managers must minimize risk while creating and managing new applications and providing ongoing support for existing applications. They must effectively and efficiently manage and support strategic, critical enterprise applications that align with business objectives.

The task of managing and auditing system changes is increasingly important as organizations seek to maintain compliance with industry and national regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley. IT must track mainframe and distributed source code and documentation through the application development life cycle, while reporting progress against the business objectives that prompted them. This is achieved through the automation and simplification of key processes.

CA CMEW can be an integral part of your enterprise change and configuration management solution and is fully integrated with CA’s Business Service Optimization (BSO) datacenter management and process automation tools.

SOA Integration Bridge

An integration platform based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles provides the cross-platform connectivity framework across the products that constitute your SCM environment. The SOA Integration Bridge links the mainframe-centric and distributed-centric software change management products to products such as CA Service Desk, HP Quality
Center and more — via plug-ins that CA provides. You can easily configure this framework to best meet the needs of your enterprise environment, including the definition of custom fields.
