Electric Cloud's Customer Summit Spotlights Big Returns: Software Production Management (SPM) Delivers for Agile Development
Qualcomm, Intuit and BioWare are among leading companies showcasing SPM solutions that result in major cost savings and software development productivity gains
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 2, 2008 -- Electric Cloud®, a leading provider of software production management (SPM) solutions, today announced that industry leaders such as PayPal, Qualcomm, Intuit, Cadence Design Systems and BioWare will be showcasing the cost savings and software development productivity gained through SPM solutions at Electric Cloud's first Customer Summit, October 2-3, 2008 in San Jose, Calif.
SPM optimizes the "back end" of the software development lifecycle, or the build-test-deploy processes, in both physical and virtual IT environments. Many Electric Cloud customers have demonstrated annual productivity gains and cost savings of more than $2 million each with the company's award-winning products: ElectricCommander®, ElectricAccelerator®, and ElectricInsight®, which automate, accelerate and analyze SPM.
The Electric Cloud Customer Summit is an opportunity for organizations to share their agile development approaches and glean important data points to help with their continuous integration efforts. Representatives from more than 35 companies will discuss best practices for supporting agile development and distributed development teams as well as methodologies for extracting key development metrics from the software build-test-deploy processes.
"Agile development demands fast, frequent integration and testing, preferably driven by developers," said Mike Maciag, Electric Cloud CEO. "SPM helps leading organizations meet these demands, and it is increasingly seen as mission critical. This is evidenced by the great response we're getting to Electric Cloud's first Customer Summit as well as the continued momentum of our business."
Examples of customer successes that will be shared at the Electric Cloud Customer Summit include:
| | - BioWare: Using Electric Cloud's ElectricCommander, the gaming developer has reduced time-wasting broken builds by more than 90 percent and sped its tests by 75 percent to enable an agile development process;
|
| | - Intuit: The QuickBooks developer has moved to an agile, continuous integration approach, using ElectricAccelerator for integrating QuickBooks every 20 minutes throughout the day, instead of every three or four hours;
|
| | - LSI Logic: A leader in storage and networking, LSI Logic integrates and tests 25-35 branches within a day (down from three to four days) utilizing Electric Cloud SPM software.
