SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2001-- Starbase Corp. (Nasdaq:SBAS - news), 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 the availability of CaliberRM Professional, a requirements-based decision support system that allows advanced query and analysis of project requirements, enabling project teams to reduce development risk while accelerating application time-to-market.
Offering an improved approach to requirements management, CaliberRM Professional allows project teams to review, correlate and compare requirement metrics from multiple projects through the use of standard and ad hoc queries. With CaliberRM Professional, project members can review pertinent requirement metrics, such as how many high-risk, high-priority requirements are owned by each team member, and estimate individual development effort.
Armed with multiple views of the project data throughout the development cycle, project managers can be confident that they are making the best possible choices for the success of the project and the organization.
``As applications and systems grow in complexity, the ability to generate a scorecard of requirements metrics and to better analyze requirements data becomes even more important to help project teams successfully meet business objectives,'' stated Melinda-Carol Ballou, senior research analyst for META Group.
``For organizations with established requirements management processes, the advent of requirements-based decision support systems provide competitive advantage for dynamically changing, fast-paced, distributed development environments and across a wide range of IT programs and projects.''
``CaliberRM Professional combines CaliberRM and decision support functionality to enable a seamless incorporation of best-of-breed of requirements management and business intelligence solutions,'' stated John Levy, assistant vice president, Information Services for Renal Care Group. ``This dramatically increases our ability to leverage our current IT investments and commitment to managing project requirements.'' ``CaliberRM Professional plays a key role in Starbase's Collaboration Suite,'' stated Jim Azar, vice president, Starbase Caliber Division. ``Companies that are seeking to accommodate dynamic requirements in an accelerated delivery cycle have had a difficult time balancing the need for quality with the need to speed application time-to-market.
``CaliberRM Professional's decision support capabilities allow users to have a clearer picture of the requirements process with a specified, detailed analysis of requirements information. The graphical representation of requirements information across projects ensures the easy identification of both trends and anomalies within a customer's repository and gives organizations the advantage in ensuring higher quality and earlier time-to-market.''
