Infosphere Information Server (IIS) Component Alignment

In recent history, I have been asked several times to describe where different IIS components fit in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process.  The graphic above, list most of the more important IIS components in their relative SDLC relationships. However, it is important to note that that these are not absolutes. Many applications may cross boundaries depending on the practices of the individual company, the application spurt licensed by the company, and/or the applications implemented by the company.  For example, many components will participate in the sustainment phase of SDLC, although I did not list him in that role. This is especially true, if you’re using the governance tools (e.g. governance catalog ) and supporting your sustainment activities with modeling and development tools, such as, data architect.
