What is Endevor?
Broadcom Endevor is an enterprise mainframe DevOps and software change management solution designed to help organizations manage, build, secure, and deploy mission-critical applications. The platform serves as a centralized system for software asset management, compliance tracking, and automated development workflows across complex mainframe environments. Endevor supports modern DevOps practices by integrating Git-based development, CI/CD pipelines, RESTful APIs, and Agile workflows without requiring organizations to move or rewrite existing source code. Businesses can modernize mainframe application delivery while minimizing lift-and-shift risks through tools such as Bridge for Git and Team Build. The platform also supports hybrid and Git-native development models, allowing teams to choose workflows that best align with operational and modernization goals. Developers can work in familiar environments such as ISPF, Eclipse, Zowe CLI, and Visual Studio Code with Code4z integration for improved flexibility and productivity. Explorer for Endevor provides modern access to Endevor inventory locations and elements directly within VS Code and compatible cloud development environments. Endevor also strengthens software supply chain security by generating digitally signed SBOMs that support compliance initiatives and reduce vulnerability risks. The platform includes comprehensive audit capabilities, webhook-driven integrations, and traceability tools that improve governance and operational visibility throughout the software development lifecycle. Broadcom is also expanding Endevor with AI-enabled capabilities such as Code4z Assistant and analytics dashboards that help organizations improve development efficiency and DevOps performance monitoring.
