Cambridge, United Kingdom, 24 June 2003: Spectrum Software, Inc.,
today announced the Europe launch of SpectrumSCM, the world's first
truly integrated, platform independent, full-featured e-Asset
management system for software enterprises and non-IT organizations.
SpectrumSCM - a fully integrated source configuration management (SCM)
system - is an easy-to-use tool that manages the entire project
lifecycle for the definition, development, creation and release of any
‘e-Asset', such as software, source code, text, documents, drawings,
images or web pages.
The software can be installed and run on any operating system with a
Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is available for all the well-known
OS platforms. Such independence, and the fact that its on-board
database is 100% Java™ based, means that the SpectrumSCM server and
client software can be freely moved from one hardware platform to
another without the need to buy additional licenses or worry about
changes to the way the tool operates.
In addition to its flexibility, SpectrumSCM incorporates the Java
Security Model and Security Extensions, which protect key components
in an enterprise, most critically the server, clients and
communications. The tool also includes support for Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for enterprises that require more
secure centralized user management.
SpectrumSCM allows users to construct automated workflow engines and
interfaces to external systems through the SpectrumSCM API. The client
software can be run as an application or can be accessed over the web
as an applet or through Java Web Start. SpectrumSCM also includes a
full-featured commandline interface.
SpectrumSCM not only delivers savings in terms of significantly lower
pricing compared to similar tools, but also cuts enterprise running
costs by negating the need for CM administrators. Furthermore, being
an integrated tool - comprising Version Control, Issue Tracking,
Process Management / Control, Workflow, Release Management and
Parallel Development – it removes the need for expensive interface
programming.
Introduced in 2001, the tool has been a success in the US and has
evoked significant interest in Europe, particularly the UK, evidenced
by the number of downloads of evaluation copies from the SpectrumSCM
download site. The combination of comprehensiveness, affordability,
ease of use and flexibility makes SpectrumSCM the perfect tool for CM
and project lifecycle management in IT and non-IT environments.
