Stream Step

How can StreamStep help my team?

Get everyone on the same page - or checklist.

Life was simpler - back when there were fewer layers to your enterprise application stack. It used to take a small team a few hours to get your releases promoted. Now it’s a much bigger set of applications and checklists – and there are more teams involved with more coordination required. StreamStep gets everyone involved in a real-time collaborative space - like a shared checklist - where they can see what’s being done and how it’s going. Improving speed to resolution for problems and driving higher release success rates.

See the right information - at the right time.

Ok – it’s time for your release window. Where is the information you need to promote the right version of the application? Is it in an email, on a project plan, in a spreadsheet, on a shared portal, in your ticketing system? What evidence do you have that the right information was used to run that deployment script? StreamStep puts the critical release information such as versions and properties settings in your process context. Environment changes are captured at process execution time enabling a detailed view of the planned and completed work – reducing errors and time consuming troubleshooting.

Stay in control - without losing responsiveness.

Iron-clad, repeatable release processes are key to application and environment stability. But processes change and business responsiveness is critical in many IT organizations – necessitating process changes and accommodations. StreamStep provides authorized users the flexibility to quickly modify processes – within approved constraints - without coding. This enables your organization to adapt to changes faster – without losing control over the big picture.

Use your existing automation - better.

Most enterprise application releases are performed by running multiple low-level automation scripts. Who maintains these scripts, where are they located, how are they invoked and what happens when they fail? If your organization is like most - the answer to these questions is usually: “it depends”. StreamStep provides the perfect home for your release automation – allowing full control of your script revisions and their execution history for a more complete view of your processes and performance. StreamStep - when “it depends” isn’t good enough anymore.

Learn from your mistakes - before they happen.

You’ve probably gotten a few “something went wrong” emails. But how many times did small failures occur in your process before your luck ran out and a really big problem hit your team? It’s virtually impossible to know – unless you have some operational data to measure. StreamStep was built from the ground up with operational metrics woven into its structure – enabling you to target process improvements that deliver meaningful time and quality benefits. Cut those problems off at the knees - before they grow out of control.

Lightweight = Fast time to value.

Great software doesn’t need a team of ten consultants and six months to implement. We’ve built StreamStep to be robust and industrial strength but lightweight to implement and run. Enabling you to spend time refining your processes – and less time tweaking and implementing software.
