IKAN ALM is a platform independent, web-based application for implementing DevOps (ALM, ARA,...) and Toolchain Orchestration in distributed, mainframe and mixed environments.

Using IKAN ALM you will be able to:

• Manage your application life cycles (main releases, branches, hotfixes,...)

  Define as many Life Cycles as you want for as many projects as you need.

• Orchestrate your entire toolchain (using your existing tools)

  One central point to orchestrate all your tools along your desired process flow

• Control the Build process (Continuous integration, manual builds,...)

  Release-, Package- and Partial Package-based builds are supported by default.

• Automate the Deployment process (Continous Deployment)

  Move your builds forward and backward along your DTAP environments with maximum traceability.

• Set Approval mechanisms (for proper release management)

  Define which users should approve the deployment of a certain project at a certain level.

It integrates with the tools you already use:

• Issue Tracking: JIRA, HP ALM, Collabnet; TFS
• Versioning: Git; TFVC, Clearcase, Subversion, CVS

It supports the following environments:

• IBM z/OS mainframes (COBOL Assembler, PL/1,...)
• SAP ABAP and JAVA (including an ABAP versioning component)
• IBM Websphere
• Oracle OWB and ODI
• Any development environment, if you create your own phases
