AccuRev Announces IBM Rational ClearCase Upgrade Program
Alex
Not Just an Incentive, a Clear Strategy to Efficiently Migrate off
ClearCase
Lexington, MA, March 3, 2009 – AccuRev Inc. today announced its
ClearCase® Upgrade Program. This program allows organizations using
ClearCase to purchase AccuRev for less than the cost of their current
IBM Rational maintenance agreement. Additionally, it provides a proven
coexistence and migration strategy enabling ClearCase users to adopt
AccuRev at their own pace.
AccuRev has often been described as the logical upgrade to ClearCase.
It shares many concepts, including the Stream architecture with
ClearCase UCM, but was architected to have native support of Streams.
It also provides the tools to integrate into an existing ClearCase and
ClearQuest® infrastructure.
Organizations, as a means to decrease costs and complexity while
increasing productivity, are researching and implementing a breadth of
new development practices, technologies and solutions in the
enterprise. Management is scrutinizing the high cost of ClearCase
licensing, training and maintenance, and is now more open than ever to
considering solutions that increase development throughput while also
saving money.
The most common reasons that dozens of companies have already
transitioned to AccuRev from ClearCase are:
• The ability of AccuRev to support mixed Agile and non-Agile
development environments out-of-the-box, and with greater flexibility;
• Better performance for geographically distributed development teams,
especially over the WAN, with significant cost savings over ClearCase
MultiSite® replication;
• A significant increase in developer productivity combined with near
zero administration costs; and
• The ability to more efficiently manage componentized development for
project sharing between teams using multiple platforms.
Lorne Cooper, CEO, AccuRev, said, “We expect this will be a compelling
offer to customers on maintenance with ClearCase who are looking to
reduce their costs and improve their productivity. AccuRev has proven
productivity improvements, and with a compelling cost justification,
this is the time for managers to take the upgrade plan to their
purchasing decision maker. Because our business model allows us to be
profitable at this revenue rate, we can provide a better product
today, and share in our customers’ growth in the future.”

Good.
What I care for in ClearCase, and am tired to care alone for, is:
- winkin for java/ant, and the rest of the universe
- multisite support for config records of non-versioned derived
objects
- support for 10000 sparse replicas
...
UCM, admin vobs, triggers and snapshot views are crap that I'd wish
to get rid off.
Can Accurev help?
