Overview

Middleware is a comprehensive platform designed to enhance engineering productivity and streamline software delivery. It addresses the common challenges of unpredictable software development by offering crystal-clear visibility into the entire engineering flow, from planning to deployment. By unifying data from various SDLC tools like Jira and Git, Middleware provides a holistic view of operations.

The core value proposition of Middleware lies in its ability to transform scattered data into actionable insights. Its 'Cockpit' feature allows teams to customize and monitor their most critical metrics and KPIs, ensuring everyone is aligned on what truly matters. The platform also offers 'Project Flow Metrics' to highlight blocked, spilled, or dropped work, enabling teams to proactively clear impediments and accelerate delivery. This leads to faster bottleneck resolution, reduced reporting time, and significantly improved project predictability, ultimately helping teams deliver better software faster and with greater confidence.
