Yphise certification is awarded to products that demonstrate their ability to increase the value of companies' information systems while optimising costs and managing risks. Serena's RTM was selected following independent trials of multiple competitors within the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) category, a press release said.

Performance of the five products short-listed in the ALM category was measured using an ISO 9001-certified methodology to assess more than 300 requirements across four criteria, including lowering the cost of maintenance, lowering the cost and duration of projects, lowering the risk in development and implementation, maximizing the value of application development.

Serena RTM received the best evaluation for lowering the cost of application maintenance, and very high ratings in the other three categories, the release said.

The Yphise report noted that requirements management is becoming a key element in the overall application development process, highlighting its contribution to guaranteeing a project's success. Yphise also stressed the importance of bi-directional integration between requirements management and change management in order to achieve alignment between business and IT.

“This award highlights RTM's strengths in enabling development across global companies with multiple sites and ensuring that applications meet the business need for which they were designed,” said Matt DiMaria, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Serena Software.

Serena RTM is an integral component of Serena's Application Framework for Enterprises (SAFE), the company's strategic approach for driving IT efficiency by enabling process-to-process integration across the application lifecycle. Solutions within the SAFE framework provide IT management with the control, predictability and insight needed to manage change from inception through implementation. Since releasing the product in June 2004, Serena has integrated RTM into its application lifecycle management product portfolio and will be announcing several new integrations later this year, the release added.
