Solution Value

StreamStep SmartRelease provides an easy-to-use web-based front end for the BMC BladeLogic Application Automation solution. BMC experts can create templates so many more less technical team members can execute release activities and take advantage of the powerful automation features of BMC BladeLogic Application Automation - while ensuring compliance with your release policies and controls.

StreamStep provides developer self-service and standardized templates - speeding the release process and freeing developers from manual work involved in planning, execution, and tracking of release events. Developers queue up their change requests in real-time so releases are more robust and better coordinated. You'll increase throughput and responsiveness by freeing your experts from release burdens so they can focus on the more important matters of development.

StreamStep provides enhanced application property management on top of the core property management function that is built into the BMC BladeLogic Application Automation solution. You can view and track the configurations of QA, pre-production and production systems in one place. You get a logical view of your applications, components and environment so you can easily understand how different application pieces relate to one another - reducing errors and resulting in more reliable releases.

With SmartRelease, operational reporting and release process metrics are built-in. You can capture information from release to release to help teams identify trends in release failures, quickly identify root causes, prevent problems in the future and improve your end-to-end release process. Integration to your existing reporting tools for additional data analysis is easy and straightforward.
