Today, development resources are abundant. Advancements in the development cycle are enabling local competitors to operate more aggressively in their home markets, often releasing comparable products ahead of well-known international developers. This hyper-competitive global release cycle will continue to accelerate as more applications move to a web-based/Software as a Service (Saas) delivery model, providing global access to new features instantly.
The increased capabilities of your competitors require you to accelerate global software release cycles through simultaneous shipment. Successful "simship" requires careful planning and coordination between key work streams within your enterprise.
This white paper highlights the benefits of simultaneous shipment and covers the three primary points of global coordination that often pose the greatest barriers to achieving it.
