Solutions for IT & Test Environment Managers
Help IT and Test Environment Managers understand, govern and coordinate non production environments across applications, releases, data, infrastructure and delivery teams.
Environment Manager Objective
IT and Test Environment Managers help delivery teams access stable, available and fit for purpose environments across the software delivery lifecycle.
At enterprise scale, this becomes difficult when environments are shared across many teams, ownership is unclear, demand is constantly changing and environment information is spread across spreadsheets, tickets, wikis and emails.
Enov8 supports IT and Test Environment Managers by providing a shared control plane that connects environment inventory, bookings, demand, releases, deployments, data, incidents, ownership and readiness in one governed view.
