- 7. Challenges for deploying Java applications today Increasing complexity of target landscapes Heterogeneity in middleware environments Lack of standardization of deployment procedures Clouds & virtualization on the rise Increasing complexity of applications From monolithic to componentized applications (SOA) Acceleration of change New technologies release cycles Agile methodologies Business pushing for frequent functional upgrades Organizational Difference in mindset between Development and Operations Lack of ownership (hand-over between Development and Operations) Lack of governance of and security on environments
- 8. Common application deployment drawbacks Delays & idle waiting times in hand-over of software packages from Development to Operations Lots of time wasted on creating error-prone deployment scripts Difficult to migrate applications from one platform to another Hard to keep track of all dependencies between applications, servers and teams No transparancy in overall deployment process and associated (hidden) costs Poor time to market of your business critical applications No standardization of deployment processes across applications or environments Not enough time to spend on value-adding operations tasks Hard to apply incremental updates to SOA-based applications

- 23. KLM/AirFrance KLM chose Deployit to better manage all Java application deployments in their Service Oriented-Architecture. “Deployit provides us with a very powerful system that helps reduce repetitive work, boost productivity and improve quality. Now, we’re able to focus more on developing advanced online functions for our internal and external customers.” Ronald Bosch, Director Web Systems Situation: KLM WebSystems works on 35 projects simultaneously, leading to around 200 Java EE deployments per week. Previously, over 70% of all deployments failed. This has now been drastically reduced, leading to savings of up to 150 manhours per project.
