Catalyst and Starbase Announce Partnership to Speed Delivery of Enterprise eBusiness Applications
Integrated Solution Delivers Open Standards-Based Development
CHICAGO, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Catalyst Systems Corporation, the leader in application build management technology and Starbase Corporation (Nasdaq: SBAS - news), the leading provider of end-to-end collaborative products for both the development and management of content and code for eBusiness applications, today announced a strategic technology and marketing partnership.
Through the technology partnership, the two companies will develop and maintain a seamless integration between Openmake, an application build process automation tool and StarTeam, Starbase's integrated, collaborative source code, content and change management solution for eBusiness development projects. This integration will offer enterprise development teams a complete solution for automating eBusiness applications build management across the widest variety of development languages and operating systems. Starbase and Catalyst will co-market the integrated solution directly to end users through client referrals, joint seminars, workshops, and conferences. The end user community will benefit by having the availability of one-source development solutions, based on best-of-breed technology.
``StarTeam delivers critical team collaboration and code and content repository support to teams that are working with a wide variety of development tools, languages and operating systems,'' stated William R. Stow III, President and CEO of Starbase. ``Openmake supports true enterprise development across all platforms regardless of compiler or programming language. The combination of StarTeam and Openmake offers our joint customers an integrated solution that will support the management and creation of enterprise and Internet applications.''
``Building enterprise and Internet applications using traditional mechanisms makes it is almost impossible to standardize many environmental development factors,'' said Steve Taylor, President of Catalyst Systems. ``The integration of Openmake's repeatable software build process with StarTeam will ensure that our joint customers will be able to rapidly deploy eBusiness applications while greatly reducing the risk of introducing errors into their production environments.''
