Regain visibility, transparency, and
control over all environments that are
critical to new business initiatives.
Reduce the financial risk of release
delays and failures arising from
environment misconfiguration or
contention.
Allocate environments proactively
rather than reactively. Manage both
constraints and underutilization.
Increase environment team
collaboration and productivity
through a unified view of
environments across your
organization.
Eliminate disparate spreadsheets and
manual effort.
Applications and portfolios within your enterprise are becoming
increasingly interconnected and dependent upon one another. When an
application changes, there is a high risk of detrimental impacts on the
end-user services provided by other applications. The need to increase
release velocity is placing increasing pressure on the environment teams
managing and controlling the pre-production environment landscape.
Teams that provide test environments for critical projects are often
distributed or outsourced to technology partners, making the situation
even harder to manage. The endless meetings, miscommunications,
disparate information silos, and hidden spreadsheets prevent you from
seeing the complete picture of all test environments in your organization.
Delivery teams are frequently invalidating their tests by unknowingly
using the same environment as other teams or commencing testing in an
environment with the wrong configuration.
Failure to adequately manage environment allocations to project teams
will ultimately result in environment outages and delayed releases to
production. The financial cost of poor environment management is
substantial.

GOVERNANCE AND REPORTING
Mitigate Project Delays from Environment Outages
TEMS minimizes or eliminates the 40% of
test time that is lost due to environment
misconfiguration, contention, or unplanned
outages. TEMS's intelligent environment
availability and allocation engine makes
sure that the right environments are
allocated to the right releases at the
appropriate time to avoid misconfiguration
or contention.
Increase Environment Management Productivity
TEMS provides a unified source of truth for
all environment-related information and
makes that information broadly accessible
throughout the cross-functional teams and
organization. By eliminating duplicate data
entry and continual reconciliation, TEMS
frees up existing resources to focus on more
valuable activities.
Integrate with Your Existing Toolsets
Plutora’s core competency is the
ability to integrate with a broad
range of technologies. These
include market-leading Project
Portfolio Management solutions
(HP PPM, CA Clarity, and
Microsoft Project),
IT Service Management Solutions
(ServiceNow and BMC Remedy), and
Application Lifecycle Management tools
(JIRA, Rally, and HP Quality Center).
Enhanced Governance and Metrics
TEMS provides test environment
governance for detecting and remediating
changes in test environments. It continually
tracks the relationship between releases,
environments, environment requests and
environment handovers over time to
produce comprehensive environment
service metrics.
Manage the Financial Aspects of Your Environments
TEMS combines environment scheduling
and configuration
capability with
relevant cost
drivers to forecast
environmental
costs and cross
charge projects
teams for actual
environment usage. A full view of all
environments, including those that are
underutilized, enables your organization
to reclaim environments faster and
reduce the overall cost of environments.
Increased Release and Environment Collaboration
Automate communication, collaboration,
and coordination between delivery
teams, release teams, and environment
teams with TEMS and eliminate manual,
error-prone hand-offs. TEMS's
comprehensive alerts and notifications
system makes sure all environment
stakeholders are aware when
environments are requested, allocated,
modified, and decommissioned.
