StarTeam Delivers on Collaborative eBusiness Life Cycle Management For
Customer Relationship Management Knowledge Solution Provider
StarBase Corp. (Nasdaq:SBAS) a leading provider of eBusiness Life
Cycle Management Solutions, today announced that Knowledge Impact
(formerly known as Professional Development Group) has chosen StarTeam,
part of the StarBase eCycle Framework, as the solution for managing the
development and deployment of Web-based applications. Knowledge
Impact's development team of over 150 members is geographically
dispersed across the United States.
They required a configuration management solution that could handle
Internet access together with the fast transfer of large files while
providing true integration of features such as change, task and
conversation management, in one application. StarBase was able to
provide Knowledge Impact with a solution that allowed all employees
involved in the design, development and delivery of their products to
work efficiently and collaboratively wherever their location.
"We really needed a Web-capable client-server configuration management
tool that could support the transfer of our large files," stated Paul
Coste, principal engineer at Knowledge Impact. "Many of our projects
range in size up to 750MB. We had already moved from the physical
transfer of files to an FTP site. Introducing StarTeam gave us an
integrated change and task management system with safe and fast access
to our work, even across firewalls. StarTeam's support of Microsoft's
COM application programming interface and its built-in compression and
encryption capabilities were critical in achieving this solution. I
found StarBase's technical support outstanding and their responsiveness
was really a big help!"
Knowledge Impact's Enterprise Applications division started in the
mid-1990's with a handful of employees creating computer-based training
courses for corporate end-users. They soon grew to over 200 people
internally and spread their development across the United States
offering classroom, computer and Web-based training applications on a
national basis. Knowledge Impact used Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe
(VSS) for three years, but as the organization grew, so did their need
for an enterprise-wide solution capable of managing these applications.
After looking at other tools on the market, Knowledge Impact ultimately
chose StarTeam for its strong Web-based architecture, support of remote
developers, secure and efficient transfer of large files, and single
graphical user interface (GUI) to the all of StarTeam's functionality.
Knowledge Impact initially viewed, and subsequently imported their VSS
repositories through the StarTeam GUI, which provided not only version
control, but defect tracking, task management and threaded messaging,
as well. "StarTeam provides a GUI that is, by far, better than anything
out there, one of a kind," said Coste. "It has enabled us to quickly
get up to speed on StarTeam and deliver our applications faster."
"Knowledge Impact chose StarTeam for the exact qualities that our
customers have come to expect and the market has demanded from us,"
stated Tom Brattvet, vice president of sales at StarBase. "In fact,
Knowledge Impact gave us technical feedback that enhanced our next
release of StarTeam, allowing us to better meet the needs of our
growing customer base. We continue to see corporations choose StarTeam
for its superior support for remote development and its integrated full
suite of tools, in one very usable application. This is especially
critical in the eBusiness development market."
