ITinvolve announced Spring '14 with new ITinvolve Agility Manager and ITinvolve Drift Manager offerings that improve development and operations (DevOps) work coordination and collaboration; manage business initiatives from requirements to deployment; and improve drift visibility, remediation, and prevention.
The announcement was made at Interop Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
ITinvolve represents a new way of working between business, development and operations that enables DevOps and brings greater agility while also ensuring operational stability and quality. ITinvolve provides the actionable information IT professionals need by uniting scattered sources of information and tribal knowledge, by delivering unparalleled risk and impact analysis, and by breaking down silos of disconnected teams, tools, and processes.
"Spring '14 fills the collaboration and transparency gaps that are so critical for DevOps success," said ITinvolve co-founder and CTO Rob Reiner. "With modern visualizations and automatic involvement of the right team members, IT now has a single application to orchestrate the complete development lifecycle from business goals and requirements, to managing projects and releases, to having complete visibility across environments in order to avoid problems during deployment."
ITinvolve Agility Manager was developed with extensive input from DevOps practitioners and ITinvolve's own experience with disconnected development and operations tools in the market. Agility Manager helps organizations improve project delivery times and release quality by facilitating DevOps with greater collaboration and enhanced operations across the development lifecycle:
- Eliminates communication handoff gaps and risk of information distortion.
- Aligns business goals, requirements, projects, and releases.
- Communicates changing requirements with downstream impact to those who need to know.
- Manages development iterations, assigns and tracks tasks, and facilitates cross-team collaboration and daily standups.
- Provides full transparency into project and release status including work in process and bottlenecks.
- Keeps environments in sync between pre-production and production.
ITinvolve Drift Manager was developed in response to ongoing enterprise drift management challenges that persist despite investments in automation tools. Drift Manager helps organizations improve service stability and deployment success rates by visualizing, identifying, and correcting configuration drift:
- Centralizes and visualizes existing script and automation information, configuration files, binary files, system-level attributes, and product version data.
- Provides interactive dashboards that compare current state against expected with the ability to drill-down into granular settings across the entire stack and all tiers.
- Generates incidents when drift is detected and provides the ability to "snooze" drift issues if they are expected.
- Ensures everyone who needs to know is aware of existing scripts and automations so configuration changes are always made with this information in mind.
Both ITinvolve Agility Manager and ITinvolve Drift Manager work with existing project management and automation tool investments and are available as add-on modules to ITinvolve's core product offering. ITinvolve also provides ITinvolve Service Manager which supports incident, problem, request, and change management along with a service catalog and self-service portal.
The company also announced it has received an additional equity investment from Austin Ventures. Proceeds of the investment will be used to expand sales and marketing as well as further product innovations.
