AccuRev Leverages Web 2.0 Technology to Extend Process Management
Reach across the Organization
LEXINGTON, Mass. (Business Wire EON) June 25, 2008 --
AccuRev Inc. today announced a new AJAX-based Web Interface and a native
integration with Microsoft Windows Explorer for its process-centric
software change and configuration
management (SCCM)
solution. These new capabilities make it easy to integrate every
knowledge worker into the development process and offer new ways to
share information.
AccuRev Web Interface
The AccuRev Web Interface,
developed with the Google Web Toolkit, provides a desktop look and feel
for accessing files, streams, and version differences
-
Development managers can easily browse projects, and perform code
reviews from any location. Team leads, release engineers or developers
may create new streams of development or download files and documents
to work on while out of the office.
-
Permalinks provide direct browser access to AccuRev-controlled
elements in the repository, providing managers and team leads the
ability to view changes and dive into pertinent details. They can also
be used in collaboration tools and frameworks such as wiki’s,
forums, and blogs. Users may also use them to enhance third-party
issue tracking systems by associating code changes with issues in
change documents.
AccuBridge for Windows Explorer
AccuBridge
for Windows Explorer allows users to manage their work under AccuRev
version control by simply right-clicking in Microsoft Windows Explorer.
-
Product managers, technical writers and other non-programming
knowledge workers may now link their work product, such as product
documentation, marketing collateral, meeting notes, spreadsheets and
presentations, into the overall release.
-
Enhances compliance with FDA, Sarbanes-Oxley or other company mandates
for process controls and full audit-ability.
Chris Barnes, Senior Systems Analyst and AccuRev Administrator at Alaska
Airlines, said, “Our PeopleSoft and Siebel
teams can now easily version their development artifacts with AccuRev
using the new AccuBridge for Windows Explorer. Taking advantage of the
multiple version history, they no longer are required to keep huge
copies of databases lying around and can respond more quickly to
maintenance and fix situations.”
Damon Poole, AccuRev CTO, said, “After
deploying AccuRev to the typical users of software
configuration management, other people in the organization that
interact with the engineering groups also wish to work in the same
environment and receive the same benefits. These new AccuRev interfaces
extend the ease of access to shared assets and significantly contribute
to closer collaboration. This is especially valuable for Agile teams
where multiple disciplines are interacting on a daily basis.”

The AccuRev Web Interface and AccuBridge for Windows Explorer 2008.1 are
currently available at no additional charge for all AccuRev customers
under current maintenance agreements. For additional details, please
