The customer will use StarTeam to support software development teams that are geographically distributed around the globe. Among the key reasons for selecting StarTeam were the product's ability to facilitate worldwide Web collaboration between development groups and to enable the customer's clients to access and communicate with these distributed development groups over the Web.

Moreover, StarTeam's ability to allow the customer's corporate clients to interface with its development teams through WebConnect provided another key business benefit to the customer.
