Get more control

ISPW was architected to manage complex application environments. In our client locations, hundreds of application programmers work with ISPW every day updating cross-platform applications.  With all of this activity, automated approvals and up to the second status built in, ISPW is Application Development's control center.  And managing comprehensively has never been easier with ISPW's special Eclipse and Browser interfaces.

Multi-platform control

When a change is implemented it often requires events to be triggered and monitored on mainframe, Windows and Unix servers simultaneously.  Of course ISPW provides this service, while it also allows the applications to be built and tested in the first place. Packaging of new versions, even on multiple platforms, happens automatically and includes all changed modules.
 

Fewer failed changes

By harnessing tools in a logical and repeatable order, and generating JCL from standard forms and eliminating keystrokes during coding and testing, there are fewer things to go wrong.  More consistency means less room for errors, which results in more successful changes in less elapsed time.
   

Better Management

With a centralized point of control, Project Managers can see the big picture, on all platforms, all the time.  A powerful Eclipse-based GUI shows the status of the entire project at a glance, and with the click of a mouse it can drill down to an individual module or task.  No more out of date status reports - just the facts at your fingertips.  Taking action is easy too - the interface is fully interactive so it's easy to reassign tasks or add activities right from your desk.
 

Complete Auditability

Auditors appreciate ISPW.  Complete tracking, repeatable processes, and a time stamp precisely when each step took place ensures applications are always compliant. Separation of development, management and control responsibilities is supported through the use of built-in approval and promotion processes. This kind of total lifecycle management means total control and risk avoidance.

  • Track all module changes - what & when
  • Accountability - who made/approved changes
  • Separation of responsibilities - with required approvals
  • Consistent testing and promotion processes
