ControlTier Leads Automation Field with the Introduction of Application Patterns

San Mateo, CA -- May 05, 2005.

ControlTier Software, Inc., a provider of next-generation application automation tools, announced today the general release of Application Patterns, ground-breaking product functionality that makes it dramatically easier for enterprises to release and deploy integrated business applications.

Beta customers using Application Patterns have gained dramatic results:
-70% reduction in time required to release applications from Development to QA and Production groups
-90% reduction in deployment and configuration errors across Development, QA, and Production groups

Application Patterns enable developers and administrators to collaboratively capture all of the architectural, configuration, and procedural knowledge needed to deploy and control and integrated stack of software. Leveraging this knowledge, Application Patterns expose to developers and administrators simplified logical commands that are used to deploy, configure, or control that complete stack of application software in any environment.

Patterns are portable and can be distributed to different groups or users. The ControlTier System takes care of mapping the Application Pattern to the physical contexts of each environment and automates the installation and configuration process of each application component in an orderly, reliable, and repeatable manner. With Application Patterns, individuals are able to work independently yet share Application Patterns that define how their part of the integrated whole should be released and managed.
