SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 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 enterprise and e-business applications, today announced the availability of StarTeam Elite, the only configuration and change management system that drives the development process from requirements, tasks and change requests to improve both the productivity and quality of enterprise applications.
StarTeam Elite is a high-end solution designed to meet specific business needs through customizations by Starbase Professional Services.
``StarTeam Elite's customization capability and enforceable workflow will provide our team with increased control over the entire development process,'' stated Steve Morling, project leader, principal engineer for AG Communication Systems.
``This is crucial in an enterprise like ours with several hundred development team members. StarTeam Elite delivers a truly integrated approach to development enabling the management of all our digital artifacts, including requirements.''
StarTeam Elite's new functionality coupled with advanced customization capability extends the StarTeam Enterprise product to fully integrate requirements management and workflow into the development process.

This managed process unifies and speeds the development life cycle, significantly improving the quality of applications.
``As application development projects increase in size and scope, the need for IT management to establish best practices and control the development process also increases,'' stated Lydia Patterson, vice president of marketing for Starbase. ``The ability to implement and enforce a clear and well-understood process greatly improves development efficiency.''
Patterson continued: ``Including our Professional Services Group's customization capabilities with StarTeam Elite enables the delivery of a highly personalized development solution for our customer, which supports the most sophisticated needs of the development process.
