OBizNet ALM Solutions

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a set of processes, methodologies and systems to help enterprise and developers to build and maintain quality software applications in a cost efficient way (like shorter timeframe to build) with the same or less amount of resources.

ALM is especially effective in an environment where:

- Application development is on a rapid timeframe and cycle
- Development resources have been reduced, eg. reduction in headcount
- There is an increase in the numbers of applications to be developed
- There are numerous change request for each application in development or after user acceptance
- Applications are complex and distributed in terms of development and usage
- High Availability/Disaster Recovery solution for the application
