3G UK Limited (Hutchison 3G), has selected the Starbase Collaboration Suite to

Hutchison 3G in the UK and in other Hutchison Whampoa 3G companies in Europe.
It will then be deployed on Hutchison Whampoa 3G networks worldwide.

enable over 2,000 people worldwide to manage software requirements,
configuration, change management, defect tracking, testing and test management
for voice and data systems that make up the 3G standard.
Ed Candy, technology director at Hutchison 3G stated, "What we are doing
here is completely new and it was important to choose a supplier with a robust
and proven technology. Starbase has an excellent reputation and can deliver
the scalability and flexibility required to provide this important piece of
software for our network."
"The Hutchison 3G purchase is one of the largest in the history of
Starbase and clearly substantiates that our value proposition is being well
received in the software configuration management marketplace," stated James
H. Smith, executive vice president, Starbase Customer Group. "With StarTeam
Elite and our expanded product offerings, we have become a strategic solutions
provider for larger organizations and are now able to meet the enterprise
needs for projects of this size and scope.
"Starbase's Professional Services group has been working closely with
Hutchison 3G on a long term engagement to help ensure a successful
implementation process," continued Smith. "The Starbase Collaboration Suite
will enable Hutchison 3G to exert greater control over its entire development
process and help them to achieve increased development speed and improved
application quality. These controls are prime examples of the benefits that
an integrated and unified development process can deliver to today's global
enterprises. We're very pleased to be working with Hutchison 3G and look
forward to a long and productive relationship with the company as the solution
is adopted worldwide."
