Agile Manager Agile project management solution to plan, execute and track Agile projects. Available on-premise and in the cloud, Agile Manager helps remove latencies, bolster Agile practices, and foster continuous improvement. Agile software development requires a shift in the way an organization thinks. It impacts all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It also affects all stakeholders within that lifecycle, from business analysts to developers to testers. Challenges include smooth iteration and release planning, collaboration among cross-functional teams, and reliable quality assurance for multi-layered and composite applications. You also must address how to effectively manage dynamic requirements and tests. We help customers who are transitioning, or have transitioned, from traditional waterfall approaches to iterative Agile methodologies. Our integrated application lifecycle management software and best practices help to manage Agile development and Agile testing processes successfully. These solutions provide better visibility, control and responsiveness across the lifecycle, from requirements management to delivery. They provide peace of mind to ensure that applications perform and remain secure.

Editor's Notes
- Now that you understand why we needed the Hewlett Packard Enterprise brand to elevate from a technology to a business conversation, let’s talk about the process we went through to develop our new brand. Because our brand is so important, we were thorough in our development process. We followed a logical strategy. We conducted comprehensive validation research. Read the quote from Meg Whitman
- 1. Enterprises have to deal with Distributed teams Heterogeneous development environments, variety of tools There is a need to bring all the information together and present it in one single pane of glass to the Agile teams 2.
- Via ALM/QC we can synchronize the suite of tools behind ALM: SV/NV, UFT, LR. etc Advantage over similar synchronizer that our competitors offer is that the two platforms that we sync between are the same platform. The data types are extremely similar – it is a natural synchronization – something that our competitors cannot achieve in the same way we are able to.
- Lets talk about why the marketing is shifting to SaaS. A decision maker in IT is typically attracted to SaaS for the following reasons: FINANCIAL SaaS contributes to reduce organizations’ IT capital expenditure budget. As a subscription service, is accounted as an operating expense, avoiding the need for upfront capital expenditure and complex multi-year accounting for depreciation. For management, this clarifies the strategic agenda and the financial outlays ahead of the yearly budget process, giving a more accurate year-on-year view of on-going IT effort and expenses. According to Analysts, the cost of implementing conventional enterprise software is four to five times the cost of the original license. Huge! The ROI of SaaS is very compelling. Up to 40%. However, the ROI of SaaS is not restricted to understanding the differences between leveraging a single traditional in-the-datacenter application, versus leveraging a similar or same application on-demand. The ROI cannot be narrowed to comparing CAPEX versus OPEX, aka the 3-year costs of hardware, software, and operations, versus the subscription-only cost of SaaS. First, because one need to factor in the value of agility, the value of scheduled upgrades, rapid implementation, usability, and change management. Second, because SaaS is not just a platform provider, our skilled staff delivers premium services with most of our offerings to ensure high user adoption. Third, because customers who have previously purchased a perpetual license or ELA can still benefit from SaaS by migrating their environment to HP. By utilizing HP SaaS solutions, user adoption rates generally double - from an industry standard 40-42% to 84%, increasing the productivity of the new application. COMPLEMENT IT A typical software implementation involves purchasing and maintaining servers, housing them securely, and installing and maintaining the software. This requires the time and effort of experienced IT personnel. Organizations come to SaaS when they lack IT Resources, or don’t have enough datacenter capacity to cater for project burst. We rapidly implement software which supports a specific business need at a specific point in time. The mix of legacy IT and SaaS contributes to creating a hybrid model. ALTERNATIVE TO IT The pain is not just about deployment of software requiring special skills, time and resources. It is about the lifecycle management of these tools. For instance, enterprise application upgrades often proves expensive and time consuming. Not only does one need to factor in the various resources that need to be involved, but one needs to include the unpredictable yet probable costs of when things go wrong, the cost of preserving your customizations and integrations with the upgrade, and the cost of the next upgrade if you skip the one coming. With HP SaaS, enterprises gain all of the productivity enhancements of the latest scheduled software upgrades with none of the application downtime, diversion of resources, and expense typical of in-house deployments. As compared to Mission Critical IT applications such as Outlook, ERP/CRM or financials, an application such as HP ALM, PPM, APM and ITSM often falls to second or third tier. For most IT department, the Tier 1 application availability matters most. The high availability, disaster recovery, backup & restore procedures are in place for mission critical applications but for Tier 2 or 3 applications it’s a different picture. At HP SaaS, all applications are delivered as Tier 1 applications. Customers consider our SaaS operations team as their dedicated IT team whose sole job is to ensure availability of their HP Software instance. In a nutshell, they come to HP SaaS to ensure business continuity. BETTER AGILITY Enterprise Applications are now so integral to the modern enterprise that business agility fundamentally depends on application agility: You don’t get one without the other. The business moves, changes, and expands only as fast and efficiently as its applications do. SaaS offers greater usage flexibility either as temporary solution for one-off projects, or as a scalable licensing and service model to cater for a burst in demand. HP SaaS can also provide monthly or quarterly billing to fit customer’s budget and financial expectations. INNOVATION All organizations want to accelerate time-to-market, deliver new services faster, modernize the customer experience, and enter new markets. As the degree of end-user application complexity continues to rise, the burden of administrating tools on-premise can prove inefficient and ineffective. On-premise deployment deflects the efforts of employees at a number of levels away from the core mission of your organization. With SaaS, internal IT teams can be redeployed from tactical, routine functions to more strategic projects. With SaaS, investments can be made on core activities.
