SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2001--Starbase Corp. SBAS, the leading provider of end-to-end collaborative products for both the development and management of content and code for e-business applications, today announced it has joined Starpoint Solutions' FLITE(R) Framework Partner program.
Starpoint Solutions has standardized on a technology solution and platform from Starbase and Documentum DCTM to develop and deliver the FLITE Framework, a customizable software framework. The FLITE Framework is accessible through an ASP (application service provider) to optimize and automate enterprise application development.
The StarTeam component provides users of the FLITE Desktop with an integrated environment that will speed and control the application development process while maintaining critical project history.
"We have developed the Starbase Collaboration Suite to accommodate a best-of-breed or best fit environment," stated James H. Smith, executive vice president of Starbase Customer Group. "By selecting StarTeam as a component within the FLITE Framework, Starpoint enables organizations to speed the development process without compromising the quality of those applications.
"StarTeam supports a fluid team development process, managing contributors from every technical level and from geographically distributed locations. We are thrilled to be a part of the FLITE Framework and look forward to the introduction of our solution to Starpoint's growing customer base."
FLITE Framework provides value to those organizations looking to dramatically reduce the time, cost and risk required to successfully establish their digital business competencies.
FLITE Framework improves the efficiency and effectiveness of building business-critical software products and applications by providing standards-based methodologies, workflow, and best-of-breed software tools that enable an organization to achieve self-sufficiency. Clients are provided with organizational development expertise and recruiting services to staff technology operations.
"By combining the strength of our component technology partners within the FLITE(R) Framework, we are able to provide a unique and competitive solution to the market," stated Pete Melomo, senior vice president, Starpoint Solutions. "Products such as Starbase's StarTeam help provide the backbone to our framework and will deliver the benefits of next generation technology to our clients."
The Starbase approach is based on providing an end-to-end collaborative suite development environment supporting both best-of-breed life cycle products and also providing the company's customer with a best-fit solution by integrating with many different products in each stage of the life cycle.
This approach minimizes the organizational changes and impact and ensures a faster, more efficient adoption of the whole solution. The company believes that today's e-business challenges require a new definition of a "suite" solution, one that preserves customer investment in other technologies but also has the capability to provide a "one stop shop" if that is what the company's customer requires.
The Starbase Collaboration Suite provides a complete collaborative environment for building enterprise and e-business applications, supporting the creation and management of code and XML-tagged content both structured and unstructured.
