Borland Arms Global Software Expert with Application Lifecycle Management Solution to Improve Code Reuse

Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ:BORL), the global leader for Software Delivery Optimization (SDO), announced today that Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT) is relying on Borland’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) products to increase the predictability and efficiency of its software delivery processes. In all teams that have implemented StarTeam®, Quest has seen increases in code reuse, developer productivity, and meeting schedule deadlines.

Providing software that makes other software work better is the essence of Quest’s business, a global company that specializes in improving the performance of applications, databases and Windows® infrastructure. As a software expert with engineers in over 16 different time zones, it is critical that the development processes behind the over 130 products that Quest markets is as efficient, predictable and effective as possible. To ensure it is, Quest deployed Borland StarTeam® enterprise-wide to standardize its software change and configuration management process and has recently begun the process of implementing Borland CaliberRM™ for requirements definition and management.

“Some development teams felt that their previous source code control system was unreliable, so to keep this from impacting our customers, we shifted valuable development resources into overhead roles, such as build managers and version control experts. This impacted the team’s productivity and had the potential for lengthening our build management process,” said Scott Green, manager of engineering services at Quest Software. “Borland StarTeam delivered the single system we needed to give our global teams the visibility and confidence to support the agile processes we had put in place. We’ve not only seen a significant increase in productivity by redeploying resources to more strategic initiatives, we’ve also seen a significant improvement in collaboration across our global development organization.”
