DROPS orchestrates a continuous value stream from business owner to end-user, with release visibility and control across all teams, technologies, and tools.

Unlike other solutions on the market, DROPS manages releases at the ‘application’ level, deploying functions, rather than just technical components. This makes DROPS intuitive and easy to use, allowing development and operations teams to work closely together to increase deployment frequency and respond smoothly to the demands of the business while guaranteeing service continuity in production.

Thanks to a powerful ‘platform abstraction’ layer, DROPS manages releases across multiple platforms such as Windows, UNIX, Linux, IBM i and also private, public, hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

From one single interface,
deploy easily, everywhere!

With the Azure DevOps extension, configure and run an import Instance on a DROPS server, with import of pipeline artifacts:

  • Configure and run a deployment instance on a Drops server
  • Retrieve the execution status of instances launched on a Drops server

You can automate the import and deployment into DROPS using an Azure Release pipeline. You supply:

  • Artifacts, referencing the build pipeline (or other sources like Azure Repository, Git, etc.)
  • DROPS import stage
  • Deployment stage

Chances are your information system comprises a mix of in-house development and 3rd party vendor packages. Most vendor packages will have been customized for your specific business, using configuration data, settings, or even custom code. Any new release from the vendor must be re-integrated and re-customized, before deploying to your end-users – a error-prone and time-consuming task! And then, how to synchronize the deployment of all your standard, custom, and in-house developed code?

DROPS is a ‘universal’ deployment solution, taking care of your vendor packages, in-house development, and configuration data all from the same point of control.
