Developing and maintaining complex, composite IBM i applications is now easier, with the ARCAD-Rational Power Pack from ARCAD Software, now available from IBM .
• Analyzes complex applications and creates efficient and automated build and deployment capabilities that address key challenges that will free your development teams to innovate and deliver business value faster.
• Empowers employees with the best tools and skills available for modern, agile development teams across all platforms and roles.
Whether planning a migration to IBM Rational tools, or evaluating how to get the most out of your existing environment, the addition of ARCAD-Rational Power Pack to the IBM suite of solutions speeds your project, empowers your engineers, and enables you to focus on delivering business value rather than fighting maintenance issues and inefficient processes.
Seamlessly integrated with Rational Team Concert and Rational Developer for Power Systems , the ARCAD-Rational Power Pack simplifies the acquisition and maintenance of comprehensive dependency information for IBM i applications that span multiple technologies, languages, data types, and platforms.
The Eclipse-based tools use this rich data from the ARCAD repository to improve the accuracy and speed of change analysis, enabling a more agile, and more integrated, collaborative approach to software development than ever before possible for IBM I teams. The value of the ARCAD repository is further enhanced by tools to accelerate the production of accurate, efficient and automated build scripts for the Rational Team Concert build framework.
Deployment of composite applications to test and production environments can be an error prone, a time-consuming, and an expensive process, often having evolved to use multiple, incompatible tool sets, or no tools at all. Using the ARCAD Rational Power Pack and Rational Team Concert, you can be confident that you have the tools and framework to create and maintain a unified, automated, and robust deployment mechanism.
The right time to eliminate dead code and rationalize code structure is when you are migrating applications to the Rational Team Concert Source Code Management system. The ARCAD-Rational Power Pack delivers sophisticated tools to efficiently identify and resolve these long-term maintenance issues.
Include ARCAD-Rational Power Pack in your implementation plans for Rational Team Concert on IBM i by purchasing both product and world-class support through IBM.
ARCAD Software made industry-leading IBM i development tools for over 20 years. Their deep expertise is encapsulated in these tools to help you maximize the return on your investments in Rational software and the IBM i platform.
