Application Lifecycle Management Solutions in the Cloud: Crucial Features for Adding Value to the Software Development Process
Author: Steve Hamilton, TOMOS Software Architect |
Added: September 16, 2009
In the software development field, the rewards that can be gained from an organized Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process have been thoroughly documented; however, what do ALM solutions that are based in “the cloud” bring to the table for a project? What features should these tools incorporate? More specifically, where is the return on investment (ROI) found by having these features available
to the different areas of a software development project?
This paper details the most desirable options and features in a hosted ALM application and explain where the ROI for each exists. Some of the following items will undoubtedly be the types of features that any ALM solution should incorporate, but they become "must-haves" when the application is hosted.

Optimized Database Design for Software-as-a-Service

Added: February 5, 2009
In today’s economic climate, many firms large and small have difficult financial decisions to make. Balancing a budget with the need for quality software can be a tricky task for even the most seasoned administrator. With large enterprise systems, this juggling act is even trickier. In addition to the purchase price, licensing fees, hardware and other up-front costs, there are hidden costs to be incurred during the lifetime of the product. These include upgrade fees, maintenance and, in many cases, staffing of in-house resources to administer the software. It is not uncommon for system costs to exceed $1 million (USD).
This paper outlines implementing a well-designed, secure, fault-tolerant database design for a reliable SaaS offering, as well as how to avoid the most common pitfalls throughout the process.
