SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 12, 2000-- StarTeam Integrated Development Solutions Supporting Vignette and
Remedy Technologies Will Deliver E-Business End-to-End Code and Content Management Capability
Starbase Corp. SBAS, the leading provider of collaboration products for the creation and management of integrated code and content e-business applications, Tuesday announced a technology integration framework and strategy developed around Pretzel Logic Inc.'s Pretzel Collaboration Engine (Pretzel CE) technology.
This technology framework will enable Starbase to speed the delivery of integrated solutions between StarTeam and leading e-business solution providers such as Vignette and Remedy Corp. These best-of-breed integrations are designed to increase the productivity, reliability, quality and consistency of e-business applications.
According to Jim Duggan, a vice president and research director of Gartner: "Connecting the disparate technologies that make up the e-business life cycle is fundamental to an organization's successful implementation of their Internet strategy. There are so many technology choices today that this connectivity is becoming increasingly difficult to provide on a point-point basis.
"As the e-business industry continues to consolidate technologies, the capability of companies to provide this integration support will be paramount."
"We developed our Pretzel CE technology to enable e-business organizations to be responsive to market and regulatory demands and thereby minimizing risks," stated Srikanth Sundararajan, CTO of Pretzel Logic.
"The Pretzel Collaboration Engine provides a reusable platform for linking a wide range of application life cycle technologies. Pretzel and Starbase share a similar business strategy of enabling organizations to better manage digital assets.
"This shared strategy has developed into a deeper relationship between our companies and has resulted in Starbase's adoption of Pretzel's technology to support a number of StarTeam integrations."
"We are currently utilizing Pretzel CE technology to develop integrations between StarTeam and both Vignette's content management solution and Remedy's customer relationship management solution," stated Lydia Patterson, vice president, Starbase products group.
Patterson continued, "These integrations will provide asset creation and management capability to fulfill our customers' e-business objectives and deliver a level of connectivity not readily available today. The Pretzel Collaboration Engine, based on a common framework, supports a scalable integration strategy that can be readily adapted for third-party technologies."
Combining the benefits of Pretzel CE with those of StarTeam will enable e-business customers to improve the success rate of deploying customized applications within a distributed Web environment, offer increased support for frequent updates and modifications to code and content, and address changes in digital content and functionality requirements.
The integrations available via the Pretzel CE will be showcased in the e-collaboratory Web site www.ecollaboratory.com when generally available. |
