Why change SCM Systems?




image: peopleSoftware Development has become much more complex over the last 20 years. Today's development environments often include remote developers and contractors all working on multiple simultaneous releases.

Additionally, with the advanced development tools currently available there are many more lines of source code in today's development environments. Smart branching and easy merging are critical success factors for today's SCM tools

Most SCM tools available today are file-based branch and label tools, loosely based on RCS from 1982. These tools are generally not able to provide the necessary foundation for today's complex software environments.
