Steadying Slippery Release Dates


Setting the Stage for Rapid Application Deployment

Today, getting an application out the door requires managing a system of people and resources with more inherent complexity than ever before. Ship dates can slip when the effect of adding one more development tool to a multi-language application just can't be reliably predicted.

The software development teams at Tandem Computers addressed these problems and more by choosing Continuus/CM and Continuus/PT as the framework for integrated, company-wide development.

"The enhanced graphical user interface and simplified description of build rules allows fast deployment to development teams and easy migration of their code. The Vendor Configuration Management feature allows teams to coordinate work from third-party suppliers of source code with minimum overhead. This enhances quality and reduces development time."

Bill Schweitzer, SCM Program Manager
Tandem Computers Incorporated

Working in Tandem and in Parallel

Diverse developers working toward a variety of team goals each found a level of comfort and targeted information to perform at peak efficiency. Through rule-driven management with individual role-based views, Tandem's software developers now work freely with shared files and objects without affecting other developers and their projects. Tandem chooses development languages and tools without fear, relying on the Continuus Vendor Configuration Management (VCM) feature for seamless coordination.

"The VCM allows teams to coordinate work from third-party suppliers of source code with minimal overhead, which reduces development time and enhances quality."
