What's new in RAD and RSA 8.5? Attend this session and learn about the top new features of RSA (Rational Software Architect) and RAD (Rational Application Developer) that can save you time and money. In RSA we will be discussing how to improve collaboration and reuse with design manager, as well as how to accelerate spring and hibernate development. In RAD we will be looking at the development support for the new Liberty profile, and how that will dramatically reduce development times for Websphere Application Server development, as well as the new Rich Page Editor for simplifying and accelerating the development of Web2.0 applications. The Good Design is Good Business community is excited to host Steve Arnold, Rational Client Technical Specialist. Steve is the Architecture, Design, Construction (ADC) Leader in the UK, with an established presence on developerWorks.

Design Challenges
Design is a key phase of the software and systems
lifecycle. Our clients successfully use Rhapsody and
RSA today to:
– Simplify application and systems complexity
– Identify issues and defects early in the lifecycle when they are cheapest to fix
– Document and communicate to stakeholders
However design tools often focus on the individual and lack team integration
– Teams cannot easily share designs and get feedback from stakeholders
– Linking designs to other lifecycle artifacts is difficult, leading to a lack of traceability and
understanding of the impact of changes
– Difficult to link designs created by different tools
– It takes too much time to create reports across multiple designs and lifecycle elements for
specifications, communication, regulatory compliance, and auditing
– Many development teams work in silos, which limits the value the designs they provide to
other teams and the organization
