Mar 1, 2010, Calgary, Canada - Today ISPW announces version 4.2, a bold new way for large complexes with combined Mainframe / Windows / Open Systems applications to provide integrated management for software changes on virtually all platforms. With ISPW 4.2, customers can build, test and deploy application updates at every stage of the development process, even to Windows and UNIX application servers.

Advantages for complex IT installations include:

• Exposing ALL change components to standard audit and approval processes
• Expedited, traceable implementation and roll-back procedures
• Automatic inclusion in corporate disaster recovery processes
• Improved project management through early conflict resolution and comprehensive visibility
• Reduced cost, via time and effort savings, without the need to retrain or modify procedures

Customers with z/OS and DB2 can employ ISPW’s distributed remote deploy mechanism to implement all components, with a single command, on multiple mainframe partitions and distributed servers. If the change needs to be backed out the entire complex can be restored to the prior release with one command as well.

ISPW’s lightweight, collaborative framework supports a choice of 3270, Eclipse and browser based interfaces so every ISPW user has disruption-free interaction with the change management cycle.

What’s really new is ISPW now works with local version control programs, like Subversion, CVS, ClearCase, and Visual SourceSafe. With standardized commands added to the Windows or UNIX build process, ISPW captures the source and executable components, storing them centrally along with their mainframe counterparts. The integrated release can then be implemented across all runtime environments simultaneously, regardless of platform. Best of all, distributed developers can continue to work with their favorite versioning tool and leave the approval and deployment to ISPW.

Affordable, Flexible, Comprehensive - ISPW version 4.2 sets the gold standard for platform-wide software change management. Exploiting the strengths of familiar products and existing procedures, ISPW provides a comprehensive solution requiring minimal training at an attractive price.
