Automation, visibility and integration are key components of successful DevOps and Continuous Delivery transformations. They enable teams to be more productive, in part, by reducing manual steps and hand-offs. But if you're like most large, enterprise organizations, these components also need to apply to your mainframe to get the most from your IT investments. The mainframe’s historically siloed, slow, waterfall culture can often conflict with, and constrain, IT from meeting the needs of the business.
Enter Compuware and XebiaLabs. Together, we mainstream the mainframe to break down organizational silos and create a single, unified DevOps culture. During this webcast, Compuware Product Manager Steve Kansa and XebiaLabs VP of Products Tim Buntel show a day in the life of a fully integrated enterprise DevOps team and how the mainframe is included in a variety of modern software delivery scenarios.

Tim – It would be nice if we were all on a single small team working on one project together in a single stack…
Tim – much messier in real life
Tim – In fact, it’s so complex we needed to create a “periodic table” to keep track of it all!!
Tim – The role that XebiaLabs plays
Thanks tim. I’m happy to introduce Compuware. Compuware is a unique vendor that is purely focused on helping customers modernize their mainframe investments.
Compuware has a wide range of capabilities that are focused on helping customers development, maintain and manage mainframe applications.
Our goal is to help remove the complexities and esoteric nature of the mainframe and mainstream legacy application development practices.
There was once a time that mainframe development was cutting edge, but the siloed nature of the mainframe has meant it hasn’t kept up with the pace of innovative processes and tools that have evolved in distributed platforms.
Compuware bring a unique perspective to addressing this challenge.
We offer new technology, like our Topaz suite and ISPW that allows mainframe development to be shifted out of the green screen 3270 environment into eclipse and web based tools as well as being connected to leading devops tools like XebiaLabs that companies have already adopted for other platform.
In today’s webcast, we are going to demo how our technology can help customers put together modern devops toolchain
To get you some context regarding the demo, we will be showing aspects of how these technologies can be put together into a develops continuous delivery pipeline
We will start by showing how a release manager can gain insight into activities in a release.
Then we will show how a developer can work with modern tools to develop, test and deploy changes
Thanks tim. It’s been a pleasure to give you this brief overview of how Compuware and XebiaLabs can help teams enable cross platform devops tooling. You’ve seen how our solutions can help drive automated processes and remove silos that can exists across different technology. You’ve also seen how you can gain visibility and transparency into your CI/CD pipelines including mainframe related activities.
These capabilities can have a direct impact on your companies business. For companies to compete, it’s critical to increase agility to bring new capabilities to market. Companies cannot be constrained by legacy practices or siloed organizations. By empowering your team with the right culture and tools, you can help bring devops to all aspects of your organization.
Now I’m going to move into the Q & A section of this webcast.
