Many organizations are neglecting to adopt a comprehensive performance testing process as it is too expensive or time consuming to measure the stability and scalability of business critical functionality prior to releasing to production. What if there was a way to test the performance of your applications before deploying to production at a lower cost? Join Al Wagner as he offers insight for an upcoming webcast featuring Scott Barber, Performance Testing Thought Leader.

The thought of a software development process audit can literally send an organization into a frenzy as it is often costly and challenging to demonstrate compliance with complex and dynamic regulations. Learn how you can increase transparency and automate to save costs and reduce compliance riskhelping to alleviate the frenzy of software development process audits and greatly improve process integrity throughout the lifecycle. Cindy VanEpps and Nick Norris, speakers.

Hear a brief overview of the China government's outsourcing project from IBM Rational CTO for AP, Tom Kamimura. China has created 100 software parks for outsourcing. IBM has worked with several parks and major outsourcing companies to create an outsourcing solution-as-a-service with CLM at the core. By adding capabilities to CLM, this solution deliver results with capabilities to better manage the statement of work and build a common understanding on requirements by "outsourcer" and "outsourcee."

Business agility is the ability of a business to adapt rapidly and cost efficiently in response to change or demands. One thing we know is that change is constant and how you respond to change can be either your competitive differentiator or demise! Listen to this podcast to learn how to empower your IT organization to help increase your business agility.

The IBM Jazz platform for collaborative software delivery has come a long way since the initial launch of IBM Rational Team Concert. Today, Rolf Nelson, IBM Rational Team Concert product manager, discusses the innovations and benefits that have been achieved over the past year with new planning capabilities, new enterprise scalability options and more.

Agility isn't a word typically associated with product development processes, especially something as seemingly complex as systems engineering. But agile development principles aren't limited to software development. They canand have beenapplied to systems engineering. Join Doc Brown and Steve Shoaf as they discuss how agile systems engineering is indeed possible!

Agile and iterative development has emerged as a leading way to increase flexibility and speed delivery in software development. Although such approaches have seen the most widespread adoption within the enterprise/IT domain, the desire to realize their benefits is not limited to this sector and can be successfully extended to areas as specialized as the embedded market. Hear from Chris Rommel of VDC Research and Bruce Powel Douglass of IBM Rational how and why agile can work in embedded development.

If you love the idea of applying Agile practices in your large enterprise, but think you can't, think again. Richard Knaster has worked with enterprise customers around the world to help implement Agile methods.

Many IBM Rational System Architect users have an inventory of model assets in US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) version 1.5 and other sources. These model assets can be in DoDAF Classic, DoDAF ABM, in other models or in all these forms. Users in the DoD, the aerospace and defense industries have created and reused these model assets over an extended period of time for various projects. The DoD has issued a directive calling for the use of DoDAF version 2.0, making migration or rebuilding of these existing assets necessary. Recreating these modeling assets in DoDAF 2.0 can be a costly and time-consuming exercise and also may lead to loss of data during the transition. The System Architect Migration Toolkit is designed to reduce the cost and time needed for the migration.

The mainstream agile discussion focuses on the construction of straightforward software by small, co-located teams working in ideal conditions. Most teams deliver more complex products in more complex environments. How can agile principles be applied for these teams? Join Alan Brown, IBM Rational CTO for Europe as he shares key takeaways from his new book, Enterprise Software Delivery: Bringing Agility and Efficiency to the Global Software Supply Chain.
