MKS Announces Software Change Management Support for the IBM zSeries Platform

MKS has extended its MKS Integrity Solution to the mainframe (zSeries/OS390) through an integration between MKS Integrity Manager, the companys process and workflow product, with Computer Associates AllFusion Endevor Change Manager (CA Endevor), a leading change and configuration management solution for the zSeries.Now, multi-platform development organizations can benefit from a single change management solution linking development activity across distributed, iSeries and mainframe platforms. Enterprises today are facing new and complex issues as native applications are exposed to customers. As an increasing number of these customer-facing applications, developed in the distributed development world connect with back-end, mainframe systems, multi-platform application change must be synchronized, tested and deployed together. Use of a common cross platform change management solution such as MKS Integrity Manager eliminates costly errors by ensuring there is a coordinated and controlled management process resulting in consistent deployment to production.
