‘TD/OMS’ controls the entire software change process from the System i platform, where the product’s repository resides.

There is also a fully integrated helpdesk functionality which registers incidents and change requests.
These robust benefits are not limited to the System i environment. Programmers using Windows and UNIX can employ
‘TD/OMS’ functionality to upload software components to the System i. Furthermore, the product supports both unattended component deployment from the System i to UNIX and Windows environments and the installation of deployed code within those environments.
