AccuRev Announces AccuRev 4.5 for Multivendor Application Lifecycle
Management (ALM)

Adds and Extends Capabilities for both Parallel and Component-based
Development Projects and Geographically Distributed Development Teams

Lexington, MA, September 19, 2006 - AccuRev Inc. announces AccuRev®
4.5, its best-of-breed software configuration (SCM) solution. This
release adds significant new functionality that improves both the
security and compliance of applications development, and the
productivity of geographically distributed, outsourced or parallel
development teams. AccuRev 4.5 is designed to be at the core of a
multivendor application lifecycle management (ALM) process through its
enhanced AccuBridge SDK, combining process and issue-based SCM with
leading IDEs and third-party lifecycle tools.

Bill Houglum, Director of Engineering at Birdstep Technology, stated,
"Multivendor ALM significantly increases our ability to stay in control
of our lifecycle environment and utilize the strongest tools in their
respective category. With AccuRev at the center of our tool strategy,
we have the optimal ALM platform for compliance and artifact
traceability at the lowest total cost of ownership."

Jim Duggan, research vice president, Gartner, added, "Geographically
distributed and outsourced development teams, parallel and
service-oriented development are just a few of the increasingly exotic
problems more prevalent today that require a more unified convergence
of the lifecycle. Effective software configuration management tools are
the glue that helps address these issues."

AccuRev 4.5 provides maximum customer control, without vendor lock-in
and now provides additional value to organizations conducting:

Cross-platform, and component-based parallel development:
New cross-stream links, cross-platform symbolic links, and workflow
additions to change packages allow development teams to organize
monolithic software architectures into independently versioned
components and conduct component-based development in parallel with
ground-breaking ease of administration.

Geographically distributed and outsourced development:
AccuReplica™, for geographically distributed replication, has been
enhanced to be over two times faster on average; per-file exclusive
locking; new access control lists (ACL) inheritance; a new encrypted
login and session model; and an enhanced administrative user interface
provide a more secure platform for geographically distributed teams.

Multivendor Application Lifecycle Management (ALM):
New performance and usability enhancements within AccuBridge for
Eclipse™, AccuBridge for Visual Studio™, including 2005, and
AccuBridge for Intelli-J IDEA™ plug-ins allow developers to more
fully live within their IDE of choice. New centralized LDAP
provisioning through AccuBridge for LDAP Provisioning™ is an add-on
that allows for fine-grained access control of users and groups for
team members in remote locations accessing a centralized directory
service.
