Rational Software Change Management Seminar
March 10, 2006 (Friday)
You may find yourself a prisoner of your projects, since there are million change requests, countless versions plus numerous builds. Worse still, the problems might be amplified especially when off-shore or out-sourced counterparts are involved.
As a leading change management solution provider, IBM would like to invite you to the Software Change Management Seminar on "Managing Everyday Changes at Ease" where we will introduce our industry leading Unified Change Management Solution: Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest.
Rational ClearCase is an award-winning software lifecycle management tool. It automates Software Configuration Management (SCM) related processes, including version control, workspace management, software integration and release processes; while Rational ClearQuest manages defect and change tracking across the application lifecycle & automates development processes issues, like defects, enhancement requests as well as new features submission to ensure all changes are managed well. Together they work seamlessly to offer holistic end-to-end change management capabilities.
Join the seminar and you will also learn the unique and pioneering co-location development management feature which streamlines communication and collaboration with developers & project managers in various locations.

The Expanding Purview of Software Configuration Management:
Standalone software configuration management (SCM) is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. In response to the commoditization of version control tools and even base SCM tools, vendors have transformed their SCM tools into process-centric change management solutions. And in recent years, process-centric SCM solutions have come to serve as the infrastructure of development lifecycle management suites, managing changes to lifecycle artifacts like requirements, models, code, test scripts, and process documentation. Join the session and learn how to determine the right SCM tool that fit for your organisation.

IBM Rational ClearCase & Rational ClearQuest - Managing the Challenges of Software Development:
Software configuration management (SCM), a key capability in modern software development practice, allows teams to control how they develop software and to carefully trace requirements, as well as changes to requirements, over the project lifecycle.
This session cover show the IBM Rational SCM solution can empower your organizations to manage change, enable virtual teams and parallel development processes, protect strategic software assets, and support deployment with confidence. It will also address in-depth technical details related to usage of IBM Rational Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools, including geographically distributed development, offshore and outsourced development, platform interoperability, performance, high availability, SCM solution administration, and Unified Change Management.

Co-location of Application Lifecycle Management:
Today's IT departments have more systems to manage, more locations to support and more mission-critical applications to build, deploy and maintain than ever before. In many organisations, the processes employed to move applications from the build phase to the deploy phase are partly or entirely manual, and therefore time-consuming and error-prone. This session provides companies of all sizes with a complete set of solutions for software development that ensures companies can create better software faster.
