Case Study: Software Company achieves consolidated, modern Agile SCM with Compuware ISPW

Software Company Consolidates and Modernizes SCM with ISPW

A small software company that develops exclusively on a mainframe faced a pressing knowledge-transfer crisis when the only expert on its homegrown Assembler+SCLM source-control tool announced retirement. The antiquated solution blocked parallel development, reliable rollbacks and modern Agile practices, and hiring to support it would have been impractical and regressive for a company selling efficiency through modernization.

The company adopted Compuware ISPW and used Compuware’s ISPW SCM Migration Service to consolidate to a single, modern Agile SCM with web and mobile interfaces. The move standardized DevOps lifecycle management, enabled multiple developers to work in parallel and perform easy full or partial rollbacks, simplified switching between applications, and included Compuware handling installation and configuration to speed adoption.
