Integrated system and method for the management of a complete end-to-end software delivery process

An integrated data processing system for managing a process of delivery of software products to target software product execution units in a network environment, comprising:

• a central repository for storing software components of at least one software product;
• a first sub-system for identifying within the central repository software components of a software product to be delivered;
• a second sub-system for creating at least one software product package from the identified software components identified by the first sub-system;
• a third sub-system for distributing the at least one software product package created by the second sub-system to the target software product execution units;
• a fourth sub-system for performing a building process of software code components among the identified software components of the software product to be delivered, the fourth sub-system storing a result of the building process in the central repository;
• a fifth sub-system for managing a process of applying changes to the at least one software product distributed by the third sub-system;
• and
• a sixth sub-system for recording information provided by at least one of the first through fifth sub-systems of the integrated data processing system during delivery of the software product.
