Electric Cloud and ReleaseTEAM Partner to Deliver Software Development Optimization
Software and consulting offerings designed to automate and accelerate build and release phase of software development process.
Mountian View, CA and Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 8, 2007 -- Electric Cloud®, a leading provider of software production management solutions, and the configuration management specialists at ReleaseTEAM today announced that they have joined forces to help software development teams maximize productivity and cost-savings though software build and release management. Through the partnership, ReleaseTEAM will provide its build process optimization consulting services to Electric Cloud customers, and the companies will jointly sell Electric Cloud's award-winning software production management solutions.
E lectric Cloud's product family, ElectricCommander™, ElectricAccelerator™, and ElectricInsight™, are designed to accelerate, analyze and automate software production management, or the "back-end" of the software development lifecycle. ReleaseTEAM provides expertise and cutting-edge best practices in build management and software configuration management (SCM), specializing in implementing build automation and improving overall build performance. Together, Electric Cloud and ReleaseTEAM provide both the tools and hands-on experience to help enterprise software development organizations improve quality and speed time to market.
"Software developers - from IT departments to ISVs to companies developing embedded applications - are realizing the true costs associated with inefficient software builds," said Mike Maciag, CEO of Electric Cloud. "ReleaseTEAM will help Electric Cloud meet the increasing demand for software production management tools, bringing deep domain expertise in build and release management to the relationship. They are a great complement to Electric Cloud's software solutions."
Organizations are increasingly seeing the negative business impact of poorly understood, manual build management practices. As Melinda-Carol Ballou, program director for IDC's Application Life-Cycle Management research states, "What are the combined results of inadequate build and release management for companies? Poor quality, low staff productivity, long release cycles, and non-compliance. Ultimately, however, less profitability for the business is the end result of ineffective build management." (1)
"ReleaseTEAM is committed to providing expert consulting based on our many years of experience helping organizations manage the increasing complexities of developing high-quality software," said Shawn Doyle, ReleaseTEAM CEO. "We are pleased to be able to expand our service offerings to include Electric Cloud's products, which we feel represent some of the best tools on the market for managing and accelerating the entire build and release process. Our expertise, along with Electric Cloud's solutions, can help development teams dramatically improve productivity and make measurable improvements to their bottom-line."
