Modern Change Management Functions to Make Complex Development Projects Uncomplicated
Emeryville, Calif. (Vocus) May 13, 2009 -- Aldon®, the ALM company for IT compliance, today announced full compatibility with Rational® Developer for IBM i (RDi) Version 7. 5, IBM's Eclipse-based workstation and IDE. With Aldon's powerful application lifecycle management (ALM) plug-in, RDi 7.5 users will benefit from process automation, inventory management, compliance tracking and automated release management so they can better build, integrate and modernize high-quality web applications and get the most of their IBM i investments.
According to Don Yantzi, Technical Lead Rational Developer for IBM i at the IBM Toronto Lab, programmers will see these primary benefits from implementing RDi 7.5:

Aldon's customers are turning to RDi 7.5 to help them modernize existing RPG, COBOL, and EGL applications with the latest Web 2.0 user interfaces, as well as outfitting them for Web services and B2B integration. These, and other application modernization efforts, bring on complex multi-tier, multi- platform qualities, making an ALM imperative. With the Aldon plug-in, these cross-platform projects can be managed from one central ALM solution. IT managers will be able to easily track down IT assets, view projects status at any given time and ensure compliance standards are met through repeatable, traceable processes. Developers are free to focus on application innovation rather than administrative tasks.
"Building solutions that make developers jobs easier and end-results smarter has always been our #1 objective. This includes both the IBM i and the open system markets," said Matt Scholl, president and CEO, Aldon. "A big part of that is ensuring we enhance our solutions in line with our technology partners, helping businesses protect their biggest IT assets, while at the same time helping them address compliance, keep projects on track and meet the growing business demands. "
Aldon uses a team repository approach, which means RDi 7.5 developers and project managers using Aldon can perform Aldon SCM functions such as check-out and promote from the standard team repository right-click menu. Applications can be developed, tested and managed in a single RDi session, while Aldon Lifecycle Manager works behind the scenes, enforcing processes at each and every stage of that application development. With the Aldon plug-ins, developers need no additional training to understand the user interface, views presented, or functionality.
The following is a list of benefits that users can expect with the Aldon ALM:

The Aldon plug-ins are free for all Aldon customers and can be downloaded at the Aldon Customer Support Area.
