AIG Technologies Selects Aldon Application Lifecycle Management Suite; Solution Drives Regulatory Compliance; Standardizes Processes.

EMERYVILLE, Calif. -- Aldon, a leading provider of enterprise software configuration and change management solutions, today announced that AIG Technologies, Inc., a member company of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) has selected Aldon Lifecycle Manager to help standardize its application lifecycle management processes and ensure regulatory compliance across the global enterprise.

Process management to achieve regulatory compliance played a primary role in AIG's decision to select Aldon Lifecycle Manager. The auditing processes for large enterprises can get highly complex involving both the IT and business units; and organizations need to submit an audit trail, documentation of workflow processes, and requests to the many corporate departments that are potentially involved. Aldon's solution provides a structured, repeatable and auditable software development process so the organization can successfully meet compliance requirements with ease.

In addition, selecting the right technology has become critical for organizations gaining competitive advantage, particularly when it comes to the development of mission-critical software applications. With Aldon Lifecycle Manager, AIG is equipped with a comprehensive, flexible application lifecycle management solution that supports multiple platforms, centralizes development teams and automates processes. That means time-to-market for key applications is smoother and faster, and users will have the necessary agility to manage rapid change and make business decisions faster than competitors.

Aldon Lifecycle Manager also allows developers to work in parallel, on different parts of an application or on the same part, supporting rapid, concurrent developer production while detecting and managing conflicting changes. Through Aldon Lifecycle Manager's single point of observation and control, users can also develop, deploy and manage applications using automated development process control along with user role-based views. The functionality contributes to increased productivity, streamlined processes, and reduced development times for key applications.
