Syscon Justice Systems Standardizes on AccuRev SCM for Global Software Development Collaboration
Lexington, MA, November 21, 2006 – AccuRev Inc. today announced that Syscon Justice Systems, the world leader in Offender and Community Corrections Management software, has standardized worldwide on AccuRev® for process-centric software configuration management (SCM). Syscon Justice anticipates increasing their overall development productivity by 30 percent and obtaining a complete return on investment within six months.
AccuRev and AccuReplica™ were selected by Syscon Justice Systems to improve collaboration among global development teams and enhance artifact traceability and reproducibility within its parallel development process for the TAG Offender Management System (OMS). TAG is the most widely-used COTS OMS in the world and the software platform for the entire prison and probation management system in England and Wales. Syscon Justice Systems required an SCM tool that could more efficiently manage the multitude of parallel development created by customer change order customizations requested from state, county and community correctional facilities. Additionally, its previous file-based SCM tool did not offer the productivity benefits that improved collaboration and integrated issue-tracking offer its global development centers across three continents.
Randy Roesler, Engineering Manager, Syscon Justice Systems commented, "Our Federal, State and County government clients often require that their individual business processes be built into our OMS software demanding a high-level of customization to fit their particular needs. With over 800 customizable screens and forms in our product, AccuRev was the only SCM system that demonstrated the ability to efficiently handle this level of change and offer us the ability to improve global development collaboration at a low total cost of ownership."
AccuRev will be used by developers, subject matter experts (business analysts), quality assurance (QA) engineers, and marketing documentation staff within Syscon Justice System's Visual Studio and Oracle development environment.
