FlexDeploy

Out-of-the-box build automation and continuous integration features help eliminate complexity. FlexDeploy supports traditional builds and enables continuous integration via a built-in CI server and integrations with popular CI tools. Users have the option to utilize FlexDeploy features to implement continuous integration practices, or to continue with previous investments in tools such as Jenkins or Maven.

An artifact repository is a key component of a streamlined and clean delivery lifecycle, and imperative for CI and CD practices. FlexDeploy provides a built-in artifact repository, allowing users an easy and robust solution. Alternatively, users have the option to integrate with an existing Artifactory or Nexus repository.

Issue tracking provides an efficient way to manage changes and track incidents in a collaborative, organized and auditable way throughout the software delivery process. FlexDeploy provides a seamless integration with best-of-breed issue tracking tools—such as Jira, ServiceNow, GitLab, etc.—creating a rich and powerful user experience for both agile and traditional software delivery methodologies.

Eliminate time-consuming manual and scripted steps, and long nights at the office. Deployment automation is at the heart of streamlined software development and operations. FlexDeploy automates deployments to any environment for rapid testing and improvement, delivering the software businesses need faster.

Orchestrate, manage, and automate complex releases with FlexDeploy. Release orchestration features streamline and orchestrate the end-to-end software delivery process. Pipelines define each stage and include automated and manual Gates and Steps to enforce rigor and repeatability for managing change across the pipeline. Schedule and track parallel or serialized releases to deliver enhancements and applications faster.

Safely collaborate across teams with a single secure platform. FlexDeploy provides a proprietary repository for managing security, including users, groups, and permissions. Role-based access enables segregation of duties and ensures users have appropriate access through the build through release lifecycle. FlexDeploy also supports LDAP and Active Directory integration for user authentication. Additionally, users can enable Single Sign-On and Multi Factor Authentication using external service or corporate security solution.

Manage the software delivery lifecycle with configurable and flexible approvals, scheduling, notifications, automated and manual testing, and more. Controls and governance capabilities enable a collaborative, repeatable, and proactive approach for managing changes across environments. Dashboards and reports provide insight to real-time and historical information, and improve decision making, troubleshooting, audit compliance, and continuous improvement.

Use out-of-the-box plugins and integrations to support your unique landscape and delivery toolchain. A library of plugins – technology-specific modules which encapsulate the complexity of performing build and deploy operations – replace time-consuming and costly manual and scripted processes. Additionally, integrate with tools across the delivery lifecycle, seamlessly integrating your pipeline into one common platform. It’s these native plugins and integrations that allow users to deploy changes while incorporating external tests, approvals, and notifications, all from one platform.
