Collaborative Application Development
Distributed Change Management Server Provides Process Control for eBusiness Performance Assurance and Capacity
Planning Projects
IRVINE, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuus Software Corporation (Nasdaq: CNSW - news), the leading provider of eAsset Management solutions,
announced today that FORTEL (Nasdaq: FRTL - news) has selected the eAsset Management platform from Continuus to better manage its distributed development
process. FORTEL develops comprehensive application solutions that enable System Administrators, Database Administrators and IT Managers to take proactive
control of their system's performance across distributed heterogeneous environments. Continuus provides a task-based Change Management solution that is
expected to greatly enhance FORTEL's ability to manage and control its distributed development process.
FORTEL provides IT Managers with a single central console enabling them to take simultaneous proactive control of their enterprise-wide systems including
databases, storage arrays, Internet, intranet, extranet, Web, transaction and e-mail servers. FORTEL utilizes a distributed development team approach to continually
update and enhance its core product offering that requires support for multiple platforms including several versions of UNIX as well as Windows NT. The Continuus
CM Synergy product suite and its task-based methodology provides a fully integrated change management solution that is optimized to support the distributed
development process and enables full functionality for mixed client and server environments.
``With our development team spread out across the United States and United Kingdom, we needed an easy-to-implement cross-platform solution for managing the
task assignment and change tracking for our eAsset projects,'' said Michael Salsburg, vice president of engineering at FORTEL. ``Our goal is to develop products
that directly enhance our clients' ability to provide valuable services to their end users which means we need to execute seamless and timely updates to our
comprehensive solution offerings. The Continuus platform will play a key role in helping us meet this strategic objective.''
Continuus is providing FORTEL with an enterprise-wide, 2nd generation task-based change management system, enabling them to accurately manage project tasks
across the entire development team. Continuus CM Synergy, the foundation of the eAsset Management Platform, accelerates the release management process,
maximizes the efficiency of limited development resources that are always in demand and brings together distributed development teams through Continuus
Distributed Change Management (DCM).
``FORTEL's diverse customer mix and dispersed development organization require a build management solution that allows developers anywhere to quickly access
the latest product release. They must be able to check out a task or specific set of files and apply their updates with complete confidence in the baseline they are
using,'' said Dave McCann, executive vice president, global operations at Continuus. ``By employing Distributed Change Management, FORTEL is ensuring that its
customers are getting best-of-breed tool support and a solution which answers their need for keeping their applications current and changes provable.''
