One platform for planning, gating, and running releases across every system in your portfolio. Built with the governance discipline of a 15-year QA consultancy.
After 15 years designing release frameworks across law, finance, healthcare, and CPG, we see the same five failures everywhere.
Checklist gates, no structural enforcement. P1 still open? The release ships anyway.
ADO, Teams, Excel, Outlook, Loop, SharePoint. Nobody has the whole picture at once.
Manual work-item provisioning, template wiring, stakeholder tagging. Every release.
Senior release manager takes a week off, institutional knowledge goes with them.
"Release Manager" is an unassigned role in the RACI. The CAB slide still asks "Volunteers?"
One source of truth. Enforced gates. Framework-driven. Multi-system from day one.
Release governance, QA automation, system-level visibility, and framework configuration. Designed to work as one system, not four disconnected tools.
Enforce gate approvals, track phase transitions, and close the audit loop across Major, Medium, and Minor lifecycle variants. P1 open at SIT exit? The release cannot advance. Period.
Configure governance per system and tier. Gold-tier billing platforms and Bronze-tier support tools don't need the same process, and now they don't have to.
Playwright runs, triage queue, artifact storage, automatic defect filing. The QA signal that feeds your release gates, in one place, tied to the governance model.
See every system connection in your portfolio. Catch cross-system dependency risk before a Bronze system takes down a Gold one. Impact analysis, blast radius, owner routing.
Import your catalogue or sync from SharePoint. Tag tier, owners, dependencies.
Set lifecycle variants, gate rules, RACI. Version it. Reuse across systems.
Point at ADO and Jira, Teams and Outlook, SharePoint. One config per tenant.
Provisioning, gates, notifications, audit, all handled. You manage exceptions, not the scaffolding.
Real screens. Real data. Real releases. Not a prototype.
Every release checklist promises governance. Most deliver theatre. The difference is whether the system structurally prevents advancement past a failed gate, or just records that the gate failed.
Our gates are non-advisory by design. An open P1 at SIT exit isn't a warning in a dashboard. It's a technical block on the state machine. The release can't advance until the gate clears, and every exception is logged against a named human with a reason.
STS has been designing QA and release management frameworks since 2009 for global law firms, financial services platforms, healthcare and pharma systems, and regulated CPG teams.
The platform you see here is the operational embodiment of that methodology, from discovery through enterprise playbooks, codified as software. It isn't a generic SaaS tool we bolted governance onto. It's a framework that happened to become a product.
No. The platform sits above your tracker of record. It reads and writes to ADO, Jira, or an internal system. It does not replace them. If your team already lives in ADO, they keep living in ADO. What changes is the governance layer, visibility, and automation around it.
Yes. That's the entire point of the Framework Builder. Healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (SOC 2, PCI), law firm (Bar compliance), and regulated CPG teams configure gates, sign-offs, and evidence capture per their regulatory posture. Every gate evaluation is audit-ready.
The platform is a multi-tenant cloud deployment today, with data isolation per tenant. For firms with strict data residency or on-prem requirements, we support dedicated single-tenant deployments on request. Talk to us.
Built for it from day one. The Integration Map, per-system framework profiles, and tier-based variant selection are explicitly designed for IT departments managing 20 to 200 or more systems with different release cadences, risk profiles, and governance needs.
Typical engagement: 2 to 6 weeks from discovery to first release running on the platform. We use our M1 to M5 framework to diagnose where your current process is breaking, configure the platform to match your governance posture, connect your existing tools, and run a POC release end-to-end. Then we hand it over, lean-team sustainable by design.
