Global bank successfully deploys RTCz integrated with ChangeMan
Need To successfully integrate RTC and RDz in both a distributed and
mainframe world
Solution Development of RTC High availability topology, installation and
configuration of RTC Servers in high available environment, mentoring in
process models and SCM as well as RTC Project Structure. Delivered
FOAK Integrations between RTC and Jenkins.
Implementation Rational Lab Services worked with client to evolve the solution to meet the
client’s key requirements despite budget limitations. The solution included
Control and Automation from RTC up to a mainframe PDS, while still
modifying ChangeMan implementation to assure that code under RTC
control was locked down in native ChangeMan, thereby preserving the
integrity of the SCM systems.
Value A strong backing of future deployments by helping the client team drive the
demand within the organization while having the confidence in the ability to
deploy.
Innovative development and implementation in many areas including a
solution developed in one month versus several months
Feedback “The Rational Lab Team … did an exceptional job with the global
implementation required.”

Corporate banking services company accelerates time to market and increases
revenue potential when it uses RTC for System z software to improve
communication and collaboration between development teams
Need A unique solution to bring three sites together to standardize and harmonize on the development
process, integrate components between the open-platform and mainframe teams, and improve
communication
Solution RTC for System z software was implemented and replaced existing tools such as home-grown
tools CA Endevor and Serena ChangeMan and some open-source distributed software
configuration manage (SCM) tools
Implementation Rational Lab Services partnered with the client to implement RTC/z and migrated all COBOL
applications from both its home-grown pre-existing SCM and Serena ChangeMan systems to
RTC. RTC/z is used daily by 110 developers to manage Java and Cobol applications.
Value - Increased productivity and reduced costs by improving collaboration between development
teams
- Improved operational efficiency by using a common communication platform to accelerate
debugging
- Increased revenue potential by shortening development time, and time to market, for new
products
Feedback “Thanks to IBM RTCz, our teams can collaborate and develop programs that are increasingly
robust in a minimum amount of time, helping us meet the needs of our customers at a lower
cost.”
