B: StarBase Corporation Announces Expanded Deployment by Aspect Communications
SANTA ANA, Calif., Dec 16, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
StarTeam's Technical Collaboration Software is Core of
Aspect Consulting Service's Single Project Methodology
StarBase Corporation (Nasdaq:SBAS), a leading provider of eBusiness
Life Cycle Management Solutions, today announced Aspect Communications
Corporation, the leading provider of customer relationship portals, is
increasing its deployment of the StarTeam software configuration
management (SCM) solution for Aspect's Consulting Services and support
groups worldwide.
The additional implementation of approximately 300 licenses will bring
the total worldwide deployment of StarTeam to 450 licenses within
Aspect by January 2000.
Aspect Communications introduced StarTeam into their consulting
organization at the beginning of 1999. It has become a critical
component in the successful development and delivery of their customer
relationship management (CRM) solutions, including the Aspect(R)
Customer Relationship Portal.
As the foundation of a company's CRM and e-commerce strategies, the
Aspect Customer Relationship Portal enables businesses to provide a
consistent customer experience through one central place that connects
customers with the right enterprise resource, no matter how the
customer contacts the business.
"StarTeam is far and away the best-of-breed version control system for
remote access," said Dan Eccher, portal practice manager for the Aspect
Consulting Services group. "Performance, reliability and security were
essential elements for us since the majority of our development team is
remote and can only access the server on dial-up lines."
All of Aspect's solution documentation, including source code, design
documents, executables and reusable components reside in the StarTeam
repository under version control. "The added value of using StarTeam as
part of our consulting practice is evident when the final project
information becomes an engagement hand-off package to our customers. We
can very easily create a project CD-ROM containing the delivered
hierarchy of files," added Eccher.
The increased deployment of StarTeam licenses is to support Aspect's
single-project methodology across their Consulting Services and Support
groups worldwide. Ease of use of the product is vital for Aspect in
supporting this approach since StarTeam will be used by a diverse group
of people with varying levels of technical skill.
Project managers, software developers, non-technical managers, as well
as support people all need to be able to check documents into and out
of StarTeam. "When I demonstrated StarTeam to our program management
task force, they were very impressed with its ease of use. I am excited
about the prospect of exploring more of the StarTeam technology and
using it to continue to improve our development process," continued
Eccher.
"Aspect has taken a solid approach to introducing new technology and
process into their organization," commented Lydia Patterson, vice
president, StarBase products group. "Their focus to date has been on
ensuring the successful implementation of version control on all of
their projects. Now that this is in place, they plan to use the broader
features of StarTeam to bring team collaboration and best practices
methodology into their projects. Over time, Aspect can choose to build
on this solid foundation to incrementally incorporate more of the life
cycle management features provided by StarTeam."
