AccuRev Selected by PacketVideo to Enhance its Geographically
Distributed Development Process
AccuRev Proves Strongest SCM Solution Based on Side-by-Side
Performance Tests
LEXINGTON, Mass. (Business Wire EON) May 12, 2008 --
AccuRev Inc. today announced that PacketVideo (PV), the software
innovator powering the world’s leading mobile
multimedia services, has standardized on AccuRev for process-centric software
configuration management (SCM) to enhance the efficiency and
collaboration of its worldwide development organization.
PV conducted an exhaustive evaluation of the leading SCM solutions to
replace its existing SCCM
tool. AccuRev was chosen as it proved to be the best performer and
for its ability to efficiently manage PV’s
geographically distributed software development release process,
eliminate merging and branch mastership issues and substantially reduce
administration and training costs.
Michael Marrewa, PV’s senior manager,
Engineering, said, “We are on track to upgrade
all of our 400 users with AccuRev ahead of schedule. With the transition
away from our mastership-based development tool to AccuRev, we will be
able to easily manage our parallel development between our 10
development locations. The tests from our pilot indicate that this
improvement, along with the speed gains of AccuRev, will enable
significant administrative cost savings and an increase of productivity
in the neighborhood of 30 percent in the first year.”
AccuRev will be used to manage software for embedded multimedia
applications and provide the PV team with centralized code management
and process controls with real-time collaboration across multiple
geographically distributed and offshore development locations.
Additional business benefits AccuRev will provide to PV include:
-
Enhanced control, visibility, and audit-ability across its development
organization;
-
Improved support for parallel development and an alternative to
MultiSite replication;
-
Enabling multistage
continuous integration by isolating builds by stream;
-
Bi-directional synchronization with Atlassian JIRA using change
packages to associate code changes with issues and support task-based
development; and
-
Substantial decrease in the cost-per-developer and near zero
administration costs.
