- What is ConsultecDBA Precision Asset Management?
-
- Precision Asset Management is a new process that brings
software integrity to Lotus software assets. By bringing best practice
controls and standards to the development environment, the deployment process,
and the production environment, Lotus professionals can now tighten security
throughout their systems, improve application quality, and bring long-needed
control and order to their application and database assets.
- What is the importance of implementing 'Best Practices' in
my environment?
-
- Following well-established best practices and principles when
defining your Lotus Notes environment enables development organizations to
build software applications that will be more robust, easier to deploy, and
easier to maintain.
- What are ConsultecDBA Best Practices and how will they
improve my current development environment?
-
- Best Practices Development Environment: If a Lotus Notes
development organization follows well-established best practices and
principles when defining their development environment, then the software
applications that they build will be more robust, easier to deploy, and easier
to maintain. These practices include source code control, code auditing, and
automation for avoiding human error.
Best Practices Deployment Process:
Application quality and consistency rely on procedures for post-development
activities that provide documentation and automation of repeatable tasks. If
missed, the result could be application failures and inconsistencies. These
procedures include template management, build process control, quality
assurance, and replication strategy.
Best Practices Production
Environment: Businesses must enact processes to ensure that at any time they
know which applications are still in use, how secure their mission critical
applications are, and what resources relate to which assets. These processes
include resource management, security management, change management, and data
integrity.
- Why is it important to perform an audit?
-
- Many Lotus Notes/Domino environments are out of control and
disorganized. With today's compliance regulations in mind, organizations need
to know what's going on inside their system. Performing audits allows
organizations to consolidate their assets and resources bringing necessary
control and security to their Notes development environment.
- Why should I test early in the development cycle?
-
- It's common knowledge that bugs get harder and more expensive
to track down and fix after an application is deployed to production. But in
addition, testing early in the development cycle not only prevents coding
errors, but compels you to accurately state your design requirements. As
project complexity grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to simply define
your project's functionality. If your tests cover all of your requirements,
software development becomes a more predictable construction process. Plan
before you build!
- Why do I need to renew my maintenance?
-
- ConsultecDBA maintenance renewal guarantees that ConsultecDBA
products will operate as expected when you upgrade to the latest releases of
Lotus Notes. Organizations with current maintenance also receive unlimited
email and phone technical support. Renewing maintenance before its expiration
saves money by not having to repurchase products at the current list
price.
