E-GATEMATRIX FLIES WITH ACCUREV

Latest Release of In-flight Management System Built With AccuRev Configuration Management System

Lexington, MA, (PRWEB) December 2, 2003 -- AccuRev, Inc. (www.accurev.com), the leader in advanced configuration management software, announced today that the latest release of e-gatematrixs (www.e-gatematrix.com) sophisticated InFlight Exchange (IFx) management system was built using AccuRev® software configuration management.

E-gatematrixs technology is used by airlines around the world to improve in-flight customer service and to integrate airlines supply chain for everything from movies to menus. AccuRev configuration management was used to control and manage the development, quality-assurance and test phases of multiple IFx applications, including the Service Ordering and Pricing, Invoice Validation and Flight Service Scheduling systems. Using AccuRev, e-gatematrix was able to deliver a timely and high-quality product to airline customers.

We chose AccuRev to help us develop our product because it allows us the flexibility to change our development process painlessly," said Kevin Driscoll, IT Project Manager, e-gatematrix, llc. AccuRev allows us to easily implement parallel development, increasing our development productivity and reducing the time it takes to respond to customers requirements."

AccuRev is the only configuration management system to offer the revolutionary TimeSafe® architecture. AccuRev TimeSafe technology manages, controls and protects development artifacts graphically while simultaneously allowing users to implement unlimited hierarchies of parallel development streams. AccuRev features atomic transactions, absolute immutability of transactions, as well as versioning of all elements in the project to ensure consistency at all times.

"AccuRev has saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in development time," said Charles Rice, Chief Information Officer, e-gatematrix, llc. Prior to installing AccuRev, we had source code in multiple legacy configuration management (CM) systems. By consolidating all of the source code in a single repository, we cannot only reuse our code more easily but we are able to effectively manage the entire software development cycle from coding and testing to release. AccuRev's ability to manage multiple parallel development streams at the project level made it the superior choice for e-gatematrix."

AccuRevs built-in best practices" enable fast and easy deployment of the most complex parallel development models, from private versioning to critical concepts like copy-merge. Combined with AccuRevs best-in-class ease of use, graphical user interface and scalability, these architectural innovations define a new generation of configuration management systems.

The success of e-gatematrix demonstrates that AccuRevs advanced features quickly translate into a positive effect on the bottom line," said Alex Neihaus, Vice President Marketing, AccuRev, Inc. AccuRevs low administrative overhead and next-generation functionality allow users to convert from legacy CM systems quickly and cost-effectively."

Users can download AccuRev 3.3.1 for evaluation at www.accurev.com and trial it in their organizations to see its power and flexibility for themselves. AccuRev runs on Microsoft® Windows® and Linux along with a wide variety of Unix® platforms.
