Spectrum Software Launches First Truly
Integrated, Platform-Independent SCM System |

Java-based SpectrumSCM® provides full
featured, truly integrated suite for managing e-Assets
Cambridge, UK, 23 June 2003: Spectrum Software,
Inc., today announces the UK launch of SpectrumSCM®, the
world’s first truly integrated, platform independent,
fully-featured e-Asset management system for both
software enterprises and non-IT organizations.
SpectrumSCM - a fully integrated source
configuration management [SCM] system - is an
easy-to-use tool that manages the entire project
lifecycle for the definition, development, creation and
release of any ‘e-Asset’, such as software, source code,
text, documents, drawings, images or web pages.
The software can be installed and run on any
operating system with a Java™ Virtual Machine [JVM],
which is available for all the well-known OS platforms.
Such independence, and the fact that its on-board
database is 100% Java™ based, means that the SpectrumSCM
server and client software can be freely moved from one
hardware platform to another without the need to buy
additional licenses or worry about changes to the way
the tool operates.
In addition to its
flexibility, SpectrumSCM incorporates the Java™ Security
Model and Security Extensions, which protect key
components in an enterprise, most critically the server,
clients and communications. SpectrumSCM also includes
support for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [LDAP]
for enterprises that require more secure centralized
user management.
“When we set out to develop
SpectrumSCM, we had two clear criteria in mind – that
the tool had to be flexible enough to work within an
already established process, and that it had to be able
to intuitively establish a process model where one did
not already exist,” explains Sarathi Srinivasan,
President and CEO, Spectrum Software.
“Following
on from these initial principles, we were able to
deliver a tool which integrates all of the required CM
functionalities, sold separately by other vendors, into
a single system. The provision of integrated
functionality, rather than interfaced confusion, is key
to driving up SCM adoption and enabling enterprises to
realise real efficiencies at every stage of the project
lifecycle process.”
These efficiencies mean that
SpectrumSCM not only delivers savings in terms of
significantly lower pricing, it also cuts enterprise
running costs by negating the need for CM
administrators. Furthermore, because it is an integrated
tool - comprising Version Control, Issue Tracking,
Process Management / Control, Workflow, Release
Management and Parallel Development – it also removes
the need for expensive interface programming.
“We look at SpectrumSCM as the ‘Buy once, use
anywhere’ tool,” continues Srinivasan. “The
comprehensiveness of the tool, combined with its cost
efficiency, has already made it a success in the US and
we have seen significant interest in Europe, but
particularly the UK, evidenced by the number of
downloads of evaluation licences from our website.
“SpectrumSCM’s full blown capability makes it a
very attractive proposition to even the largest
enterprises who have previously had to ‘make do’ with
interfacing our competitors’ individual tools,” states
Srinivasan. “At the other end of the scale, the pricing
of such a comprehensive system also brings the benefits
of full-featured and integrated CM to SMEs that have
previously been unable to afford implementation and
administration.”
Spectrum Software runs an ROI
self-evaluation questionnaire from its website, enabling
any organisation to realise the savings that can be
achieved by deploying SpectrumSCM compared to peer CM
solutions. Indeed, Spectrum Software guarantees that
SpectrumSCM will deliver savings of up to 80% against
any other existing integrated CM tool, or any
non-integrated tools that have been manually interfaced
with an external issue tracking system.
Such is
the confidence in the performance of SpectrumSCM, a full
money-back guarantee has been made by Spectrum Software.
The combination of comprehensiveness,
affordability, ease of use and flexibility makes
SpectrumSCM the perfect tool for CM and project
lifecycle management even in a non-IT environment.
“Because it can be easily and affordably
deployed at every desktop across an enterprise,
SpectrumSCM is ideal for any organisation which goes
through a project lifecycle as part of its offering,”
concludes Srinivasan. “Lawyers, desk-top publishers,
sales and marketing teams, designers and architects,
amongst others, can all reap the benefits of CM
practices, which will quickly deliver operational
efficiencies and cost savings.”
