KRONOS® TURNS TO ACCUREV® FOR SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT
Leading ERM supplier to implement next-generation software configuration management system for internal engineering.Rev_
Lexington, MA, April 26, 2004 – AccuRev,
Inc. (www.accurev.com), the leader in advanced
software configuration management systems (SCM), announced today that
Kronos Incorporated has selected AccuRev as its new enterprise-wide
SCM system. Kronos, developer of the widely used Workforce Central® employee
relationship management suite, has already begun deployment of AccuRev
for its entire development staff.
"One of Kronos' objectives is to serve our customers with market-leading ERM
solutions while improving product quality and managing our costs," said John
Morris, Kronos' director of quality and release engineering. "With AccuRev, we
can now easily apply superior configuration management capabilities to our product
development efforts. AccuRev enables us to optimize our distributed environment
and move towards greater parallel development - two areas where our existing
legacy SCM systems had proved to be deficient."
AccuRev is the only configuration management system to offer the revolutionary
TimeSafe® architecture. AccuRev's completely new architecture and clean-sheet
design separate it from legacy SCM systems, all of which are derived from mid-1970's
technology. As a result of this next-generation technology, only AccuRev delivers
total graphical control of all development artifacts while simultaneously giving
users complete freedom to manage development as they wish.
AccuRev TimeSafe technology manages, controls and protects development artifacts
graphically while simultaneously allowing users to implement unlimited hierarchies
of parallel development streams. AccuRev features atomic transactions, absolute
immutability of transactions, as well as TimeSafe versioning of all elements
in a project to ensure consistency at all times.
"AccuRev was the only SCM system that offered the sophisticated capabilities
we require to achieve our product development objectives," said Morris. "In addition,
AccuRev offers next-generation capabilities without adding administrative overhead.
The combination of advanced SCM functionality with low implementation, training
and on-going costs convinced Kronos that AccuRev was our best choice for managing
product development with our large engineering staff."
"AccuRev was designed specifically for the kind of large-scale development that
Kronos does everyday," said Damon Poole, AccuRev's chief technology officer. "AccuRev's
architecture is the only one that can support hundreds of users working in true
parallel development, while ensuring that every change is always available and
that every release is always reproducible, no matter how many things may have
changed since that release was created."
AccuRev's built-in "best practices" enable fast and easy deployment of the most
complex parallel development models, from private versioning to critical concepts
like on-the-fly redefinition of development hierarchies. These architectural
innovations define a new generation of configuration management systems.
Evaluation versions of AccuRev 3.3.1 may be downloaded from www.accurev.com.
AccuRev is available for Microsoft® Windows® and Linux along with a wide
variety of Unix® platforms.
