Integrated system and method for the management of a complete end-to-end software delivery process
First Claim
1. An integrated data processing system for managing a process of delivery of software products to target software product execution units in a network environment, comprising:
- a central repository for storing software components of at least one software product;
a first sub-system for identifying within the central repository software components of a software product to be delivered;
a second sub-system for creating at least one software product package from the identified software components identified by the first sub-system, and a third sub-system for distributing the at least one software product package created by the second sub-system to the target software product execution units.

Abstract
A software delivery process including sub-processes of configuration management and version control, change and problem management, building, packaging, and distribution and installation. The process is implemented by an integrated management system that includes a configuration management sub-system, a change and problem management sub-system, a building sub-system, a packaging sub-system, a distribution sub-system, and a tracking sub-system. The subsystems are integrated in order to manage the software along its whole life cycle, from development to installation in production. The tracking sub-system captures and integrates information about the status of the delivery from the other sub-systems along all steps of the process.
