ACCUREV WINS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT MAGAZINE JOLT AWARD
Prestigious 14th Annual Award Recognizes Revolutionary Configuration Management System.
Lexington, MA, March 23, 2004 - A blue-ribbon panel of judges from Software Development magazine has awarded AccuRev 3.3.1 a coveted Jolt award for product excellence in the Change and Configuration Management category. Presented at the annual Software Development West conference, the award singled out AccuRev as the best in class from a field of seven market-leading software configuration management tools.
"After a thorough review of the finalists, AccuRev topped our independent judges' list," said Rosalyn Lum, Technical Editor, Software Development magazine. "By winning the award for product excellence, AccuRev has demonstrated that its capabilities offer an appealing alternative to legacy SCM infrastructures."
AccuRev is the only configuration management system to offer the revolutionary TimeSafe® architecture. AccuRev's completely new design separates it from legacy SCM systems, all of which are derived from mid-1970's technology. AccuRev's unique architecture effortlessly allows groups of developers to implement unlimited hierarchies of parallel development streams. Only AccuRev delivers total graphical control of all development artifacts while simultaneously giving users complete freedom to manage development as they wish. 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.
"The Jolt judges' selection of AccuRev as the best configuration management system from among better known competitors sends users an important message about SCM," said Alex Neihaus, Vice President of Marketing, AccuRev, Inc. "Many users mistakenly believe that SCM is a 'solved problem' in their development organizations. But in reality, legacy SCM systems are inflexible, expensive to administer and a burden on developers. With today's complex development projects, a new level of SCM functionality is required. We thank the Jolt judges for recognizing that AccuRev is an important new answer for users frustrated with their legacy SCM infrastructures."
