iTKO's LISA Product Suite

Removing Constraints and Risks for Cloud Application Development


iTKO's LISA product suite helps customers move enterprise applications into the Cloud at lower cost and risk, and overcomes the root cause challenges of ensuring quality and agility for complex, distributed applications.

IT organizations have changed their approach to enterprise applications - from large and monolithic implementations, to ones that are more dynamic, distributed, and heterogeneous in nature. Cloud-based applications are a natural evolution from recent application architectures, and provide unique advantages for on-demand provisioning and elastic computing capacity with a pay-as-you-go pricing model.

This shift toward Cloud and other distributed application architectures, along with the popularity of agile development techniques, has had the unintended consequence of increasing application cost and risk due to increasing complexity and frequent change. In order to achieve original agility and cost saving benefits, several challenges must be resolved:

The Challenge: Reducing Costs and Risks in Complex, Rapidly Changing Environments

Some of the key challenges to address include:

The Solution: LISA Product Suite

LISA is an integrated product suite that provides quality coverage from development to delivery while eliminating costs, constraints and risks throughout the software lifecycle. The LISA product suite includes the following:

Pathfinder LISA Virtualize LISA Test LISA Validate

The 4 C's Approach to Optimize the Cloud Application Lifecycle

imageEnterprise applications need flexibility and agility to successfully respond to changing business needs. Virtual service environments are easily customized and leveraged freely across teams to remove critical delays and dependency constraints. LISA facilitates shared responsibility earlier in the lifecycle and across key stakeholders. This is realized with complete, automated test coverage and full traceability and transparency to enable rapid defect discovery and efficient collaboration to resolve them. Finally, business risks must be reduced by continuously validating outcomes at change-events across the lifecycle to minimize the unintended consequences of change.
