This release advances ASG’s commitment to arm IT infrastructure & operations leaders and teams to design, implement, schedule and automate business services running on IT applications and infrastructure. With this release, ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator enables DevOps teams to integrate their toolchains to orchestrate value streams across platforms, including mainframe.

Significant advances with ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator 4.1.3 include:

New privileged access management (PAM) support: New support provides integration with PAM leaders CyberArk and Hashicorp to retrieve credentials at runtime, mitigating access and security risks.

DevOps service management integration with Jira: ASG’s integration with Jira enables DevOps teams to use their tooling of choice, Jira, for trouble ticket identification and resolution. ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator creates Jira requests when issues and errors in automations occur.

Software development lifecycle (SDLC) automation with Jenkins: Teams using Jenkins to schedule and sequence parts of their SDLC, such as test automation and release automation, can orchestrate those actions using ASG and simplify value streams. 

“Our advancements with ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator allow IT leaders to accelerate their modernization efforts,“ said Jeff Cherrington, Vice President of Product Management for Systems Management at ASG. “Our customers can now simplify their IT operations and get more utility out of their ITSM platforms.
