Overview

If not identified at the earliest stages of development, software errors can result in significant productivity and profitability losses. To help address this challenge, IT architects establish guidelines, policies and best practices for developers in an effort to stem the proliferation of errors. However, these approaches can't address software issues in the same way that governance can.

Governance – manual or automated – can ensure that policies and best practices are followed. But manual governance slows the development and deployment process and increases the risk for introducing software glitches in the lines of code and web services that require review. This is where automated design-time governance moves your business forward – making the most of your resources. IT ensures compliance of policies and best practices, mitigates development risks and expedites code reviews without adding an unnecessary layer of complexity to software development.

Whether a company is building a service oriented architecture, aiming to extend the life of mainframe systems or is involved in any other sweeping IT initiative, WebLayers has the industry's only design-time, distributed policy management and governance solutions that ensures the success of these projects.
