Start with Powerful, Affordable Change Management

Midrange Dynamics change management (MDCMS) helps you manage updates for in-house applications and third-party software packages. Streamline application development tasks, from source code and object management for RPG, COBOL, and Java, to automated code distribution and installation on production servers.

MDCMS brings unmatched depth of functionality for managing SQL and database modernization projects. Need to deploy database changes quickly? MDRapid makes a move to modern and efficient database architecture easier to plan and achieve.

You may think you have too many projects underway to take time to implement change management. Invest just one week to install, analyze, configure, educate, and implement MDCMS. You’ll immediately realize months of time savings, plus the priceless value of clean, automated, and fully audited software deployments.

With MDCMS in place, add the MDOpen plug-in to handle application changes for IBM i and multiplatform environments, including Unix, LINUX, Domino, and .net. You can work comfortably in your preferred development environment such as RDi, Zend Studio, or any Eclipse-based IDE.  Git and SVN users can take advantage of our direct interfaces to their source repositories. Read More

Cross-Reference Entire Applications

Powerful, time-saving MDXREF tracks and reports on inter-relationships of all files and objects in application libraries on IBM i. This cross-referencing is indispensable for ongoing software modifications and for quickly zeroing in on application issues.

MDXREF takes less than one hour to install and comes with an easy-to-use set of interactive programs to quickly provide any type of cross-referencing you seek. File and objects relationships may be printed to a report or viewed electronically. Also, if purchasing MDCMS with MDXREF, application changes are automatically captured for the MDXREF database, letting you easily request all related objects for modification at once.  Read More

Manage Workflow Across All Systems

MDWorkflow is a flexible, Web-based application that centrally manages projects, tasks, object deployment, and structured workflow for IBM i and Open Systems development. Gain visibility of all software changes, while implementing central approval, scheduling, and object migration tracking across all systems throughout the application lifecycle. Track projects and requests and integrate with company-wide issue management systems such as Jira.

Organizations benefit from greater efficiency, improved software quality with a reliable and repeatable process, and the complete traceability of software changes that are essential for IT compliance.

MDWorkflow connects with the MDCMS database repository on an IBM i, where the data and business logic for the application reside. Initial installation and set-up for MDCMS and MDWorkflow can be performed comfortably within a few days.   Read More
