Collaborative Requirements in the Cloud

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Really, you can get the requirements definition and management tools you need, when you need them, for a price that won’t drain your entire IT budget.

As if trying to realizing the full value of requirements definition and management through visual modeling wasn’t challenging in its own right, now you have to contend with how to acquire and use these tools. Do I buy licenses? Can I lease? What about software on demand via SaaS on the cloud? If you want to learn how visual requirements definition via cloud computing can drive project success while saving you precious capital and time, Join IBM, Ravenflow, and CloudOne for this webinar.

Let’s face it: tight budgets, limited time, and reduced headcount forces everyone into an “office tools work good enough” strategy. We all know how that can turn out as evidenced by leading analyst reports that indicate nearly 70% of all software development projects are significantly challenged or fail outright! That’s why CloudOne and Ravenflow have teamed up with IBM Rational Software to empower businesses and IT stakeholders to collaborate in the cloud so that requirements are defined faster, more clearly and with greater quality. Join this webinar to learn about:

* The latest trends in cloud computing and SaaS-based business solutions for IBM Rational Jazz software
* Leveraging the cloud for anytime, anywhere requirements collaboration for your software development projects
* Leveraging IBM Rational Requirements Composer for end-to-end requirements authoring
* Leveraging RAVEN Visual Analyzer within IBM’s RRC to analyze and visualize use cases for greater quality and consistency
* Transforming your requirements process for more successful project outcomes

This webinar will include a live demonstration of IBM Rational Requirements Composer and RAVEN Visual Analyzer working seamlessly together on the CloudOne platform.
