ST. ALBANS, UK - Jun 13, 2012 - Serena Software, the leader in Orchestrated IT solutions, today announced at its UK Customer Day that it has expanded its suite of products for improving IT management across application delivery, deployment and service management.

As part of the new product announcements, Serena has added functionality to the following:

• Serena Dashboard - this business intelligence product provides end-to-end insight into enterprise IT processes. It now includes integration with ChangeMan ZMF, allowing information on project status across all the IT platforms and business processes that a company may be running, from mainframes through to distributed systems and third party tools.
• Serena Release Manager - this provides additional integration with Serena Service Manager, allowing companies to co-ordinate their IT and development teams around releases more efficiently and reduce time spent on delivering new updates out to the business.
• Serena Development Manager – based on Serena Business Manager and Dimensions CM, Development Manager provides organisations with a platform for controlling the life-cycle of application delivery across all the teams, tools and processes involved.

This event is the tenth annual customer day for Serena Software, and provides organisations with an opportunity to learn more about the future of managing application life cycles, development and IT operations. For the past decade, customers have seen what Serena’s solutions for distributed and mainframe application delivery can provide, as well as how this orchestrated approach to IT meets the needs of organisations around managing business processes. Serena’s vision for orchestrated IT allows organisations to improve their service delivery, remove costs and enhance overall business performance.

Supporting Quote
David Hurwitz, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, Serena Software: “Our vision for orchestrated IT is based on improving how application development, service management and operations professionals can meet the needs of business users through faster delivery of services and greater integration with the processes that companies already have in place. The rise of DevOps and IT as a Service shows that IT as a function knows it has to change, and supporting business processes in delivering their end results is an essential part of this evolution of IT. In the ten years that we have been running our customer summit in the UK, we have seen the landscape around ALM and ITSM shifting as customers demand more orchestration; our solutions directly address these business needs.”
