How it works

Tableaux^® interfaces with your traditional software development tools to perform its duties. It draws artifacts from a source (such as a source code repository) and invokes whatever tools are necessary to deal with the artifacts.




Tableaux^® is entirely extensible to meet all your needs regardless of the content of your builds and releases. This includes web content, web applications, J2EE applications, .NET applications, traditional client-server applications, database schemas and content, documentation or any other configuration item that requires management across your computing infrastructure.



Every detail of your project is captured within Tableaux^®. It can then construct releases from your artifacts and manage those releases throughout your project lifecycle. These releases can even cross platform boundaries.



This release process is repeatable and reproducable, and it can even be automated. Complete audit history is kept for every release.

Owners of environments can be given control of their own environments, by way of an inbuilt approval system.
