provider of process-driven application lifecycle management (ALM)
solutions, today announced a strategic technology partnership with SQL
Farms, a leading provider of database management tools for large IT
environments with multiple Microsoft SQL databases. The partnership is
aimed at delivering change management to database administrators (DBAs)
and developers that will simplify code development across multiple
databases and applications, increase process automation and synchronize
IT departments. The database is one of the most critical corporate
assets for any organization and managing multiple ones can be very
challenging and time consuming. Even more challenging can be bringing
database objects to an application. Until now, that process has been
tedious and manual for both the DBAs and developers because the database
lifecycle lives completely separate from the application development
lifecycle. The Aldon and SQL Farms combined technology delivers a
solution that will seamlessly integrate the database with the
application -- eliminating manual issues while providing proper change
management to assure database integrity at each stage of development and
application administration. SQL Farms delivers a comprehensive database
management solution, SQL Farms Combine, which automates the development,
quality assurance, production change management and code release process
of database development, bringing best practices to database
development. Aldon delivers a powerful change management solution, Aldon
Lifecycle Manager, which provides automated and streamlined management
of software development with automated workflow and processes and full
multi-tier inventory management of source code, software development
artifacts, metadata, configurations and components. Most importantly,
Aldon Lifecycle Manager is able to integrate database development
straight into the application development lifecycle. With SQL Farms and
Aldon working together, DBAs and developers gain increased visibility,
better process management, integrity and predictability to the
development of a database bringing with it all benefits of an ALM
solution. Users will be able to manage and control development processes
across multiplatform applications and database objects, coordinate
deployment and changes to database servers in conjunction with code
changes to application servers, ensure code and database changes
integrity in different development environments (quality, integration,
production), as well as implement proper prioritization and workflow
process of incidents and change requests on database object changes."SQL
Farms is thrilled to work with Aldon. We share the same methodology of
lifecycle process automation which made this strategic partnership a
natural choice," said Dr. Omri Bahat, co-founder and director, SQL
Farms. "As a standalone, SQL Farms increases productivity and automation
for DBAs, but when you add Aldon to the mix the impact is tripled.
Together we can help IT departments better address rapid business change
and be a real asset to their organization." The partnership also
represents an opportunity for companies to synchronize developers and
DBAs into one core process-centric solution for better management
control. All too often DBAs are disconnected from the rest of the
development process and working without process automation, leaving CIOs
to manage many groups from many different systems despite a constant
cross-over of responsibilities. Aldon's process-driven ALM eliminates
that silo effect because it can automate and manage change to both the
application lifecycle and database objects. The integrated solution also
provides an automated, traceable audit trail, so management can ensure
that proper controls are in place to meet regulatory obligations. "For
Aldon, delivering continuous improvement and process management across
every facet of IT operations is our ultimate objective," said Matt
Scholl, president and COO, Aldon. "Partnering with a company like SQL
Farms helps us to deliver on that goal. We're truly impressed by SQL
Farm's technology and excited to bring it to the ALM world." For more
