Automate Third-Party Software Reception
A large number of IBM i clients have architectures that mix standard third-party software packages (e.g., Eri Bancaire's Olympic Banking Package or Midas from Misys) with their own specific development. The integration effort is often extremely costly and time-consuming - in some cases, companies fail to take advantage of new major releases, which could add much needed functionality, because of the time and complexity involved. MDCMS is designed to handle the tedious, repetitive task of the reception of third party modifications into the local environment.
MDCMS solves this problem by automating (in some cases 100% of) the integrity checks, impact analysis, and implementation of the modifications or new versions to be integrated. The integration process for software packages can often be reduced to just one hour.
MDCMS guarantees the integrity of items transferred to production, thereby ensuring the nonregression of the information system. By automating control procedures and impact analysis tasks, MDCMS simultaneously improves productivity and reduces the risk of errors in the transfer-to-production phase.
MDCMS Reduces Risk
• Ensures functional integrity of the system before and after changes occur
• Archives replaced objects
• Provides full rollback functionality
• Generates detailed audit trail for each change: who, what, why, when
• Object reservation system
• Assigns correct ownership and authorization levels to objects automatically
• Places objects in the correct location with all necessary parameter settings
• Ensures secure use of the powerful features of MDCMS through an embedded security system
