WebLayers Center™ automates a majority of IT governance processes so that software developers can focus on writing code that doesn't contain bugs and glitches and managers can meet product release deadlines on time and on budget. Relied upon by some of the world's largest companies and government agencies, WebLayers Center provides the visibility into software development processes and mitigates business risks that result from faulty software development practices that limit a company's ability to maximize profits from their products and services.
The WebLayers Policy Manager™ is a collaborative system that helps to define, manage and share governance policies - Policy makers can quickly and easily define policies using an intuitive wizard-based policy editing interface.
A single, logically organized, hierarchical system of domains and libraries provides enterprise access and management for all policies.
Dynamic Policy Association and Classification
Policy makers can organize collections of policies into policy libraries. The libraries are classified so they apply to specific artifact types via a configurable classification system.
Federated Policy Management
Policies can be created for use for specific groups or for use across the enterprise. These targeted uses are known as policy domains. Configurable conflict resolution rules specify which domains take precedence when policy conflicts are detected.
Extensive Support for Artifacts Created throughout the Life Cycle
Policies can be defined for the variety of assets and artifacts created at each phase of the software development life cycle -from design documents to source code to service artifacts.
Enrich Service Metadata
When policies are defined, you can assign quality scores that quantify the impact of non-conformance based on user-defined criteria such as security, performance, and interoperability.
Certify Services
Services that conform to your governance policies can be certified before they are put into production. The quality scores are added to the service metadata in your registry/repository and provide better decision making to your runtime systems.
Test Policies Before Going into Production
Policy makers can assess the business impact of new or changed policies against the current artifacts, services, projects, and systems. WebLayers provides an impact simulation environment to analyze compliance results against a new set of policies without interfering with the production environment.
Extend the Capability of Your Existing Infrastructure
Decouple policy management from the end point enforcement enables you to define policies once, and deploy where needed.
