Leading Web Experience Platform provider deploys VMLogix to automate their test and development environments, resulting in improved resource utilization and faster test cycles

"We rely on VMLogix LabManager's virtual lab automation solutions to provide our global development, test and support teams with the tools they need to help us deliver the Vignette Web Experience Platform to customers around the world," said David Graham, CIO at Vignette. "VMLogix has helped us streamline test and development environments and accelerate test cycles."

VMLogix LabManager is an all-inclusive software lifecycle management solution which helps software development and QA teams at ISVs, as well as enterprise organizations ensure fast, repeatable development and test environment setups. Because of Vignette's multi-location deployment, LabManager's ability to share configuration libraries among multiple teams, locations, and outsourcing partners using fine-grained access controls was key. LabManager's Web-based self-serve interface allows all eight worldwide Vignette locations and three outsourcing partners to securely access, share and collaborate in the creation, management and deployment of complex configurations, software packages and virtual machine repositories-keeping Vignette's global teams synchronized and providing a highly automated set of processes across the organization to ensure optimal utilization of expensive IT infrastructure.

In addition, VMLogix LabManager supports all leading enterprise-level virtualization platforms ensuring easy-integration into heterogeneous environments. LabManager also has been proven to increase employee productivity and accelerate time to market for new software products and new releases of existing products.
