Application Release Orchestration (ARO)

Multiple development languages and dependencies complicate application deployment. Most shops deploy through test and validation environments before production, in line with regulations. Several environments are maintained in parallel for specific user needs, and there’s constant pressure to provide new functions. This increases the need for automation and tooling.

Large enterprises often have multiple development groups working in parallel, requiring careful coordination of release management. Transfers to production must be rapid, reliable, and repeatable, regardless of complexity or pressure. The entire team needs visibility and control over deployment processes to meet deadlines with minimal risk of error.

DevOps means delivering software updates continuously in smaller increments, with better collaboration between development and operations. The payback is faster delivery of more reliable software at lower cost. But to achieve and sustain these goals, you need automated, repeatable processes with visibility and control for the entire team – the business side, development and operations.

Application Release Orchestration (ARO) solutions meet this need. ARO spans the entire process of packaging and deploying an application or update through the DevOps pipeline, from development through various environments and ultimately to production.
