What is ACE Methodology?

The Aldon Application Change Expert (ACE) process is an adaptive methodology for IT services and development delivery based on best practices for compliance, continuous improvement, and iterative application lifecycle management (ALM). Designed and implemented by the Aldon professional services team, ACE is built on our 30 years of experience in enterprise IT process management and thousands of consulting and implementation engagements worldwide. Aldon ACE brings process-driven services and software change management to flexibly meet the complex demands of today's enterprise.

By providing a comprehensive process framework, ACE gives companies the foundation to easily manage defined, repeatable, measurable, and traceable processes for every stage of their application services, development, and delivery lifecycles. Whether a waterfall or agile environment, a simple or complex multi-platform environment, or a mixed-languages development environment, ACE provides an adaptive ALM framework and platform flexible enough to handle your unique requirements.

ACE promotes iterative development and continuous improvement and organizes IT to manage and enforce change in a compliant manner. ACE's process-oriented services and software development approach meets the critical needs of IT by simplifying, managing, and automating the steps—from user requests to deployment in the production environment—with little manual intervention. ACE easily supports today's agile organizations, enabling IT teams to greatly improve their products' time-to-market, deliver high quality code faster with the fewest possible defects, reduce business disruptions, achieve regulatory compliance, and increase return on investment.
