Salion Implements Rational Software Development Platform to Create Scalable,
Extensible and Maintainable Solutions for its Customers
LEXINGTON, Mass., March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Rational Software (Nasdaq: RATL) today announced that Salion, Inc. has
implemented the Rational software development platform and has built scalable,
extensible and maintainable solutions for their customers up to 400 percent
faster than previous development projects in which no software development
process was utilized.
Salion's architect, system analysts, product managers, quality assurance
staff, technical writer, and development managers are all currently utilizing
key components of Rational Suite(R), including the Rational Unified
Process(R), Rational Rose(R), Rational(R) RequisitePro(R) and Rational(R)
SoDA(R) across their development organization. Salion standardized on the
Rational Unified Process and Rational tools approximately 18 months ago to
enable their engineering group to develop software faster, while continually
improving the quality of their products.
After implementing Rational's software development solutions, Salion has
not missed a single release deadline, and each of their twelve releases has
included all planned features and functionality.
Salion, Inc. is an enterprise software company dedicated exclusively to
the critical business needs of suppliers. Salion helps suppliers sell more and
sell more profitably. By optimizing the revenue acquisition process, Salion
enables suppliers to target the best business, win more of the time, and
deliver increased customer satisfaction. Salion's leading process management,
data analysis and collaborative communications technologies come with a
commitment to implementation in less than 60 days, and payback in as few as 90
days.
"As a rapidly-growing company, it was essential that we implemented a
process of software development best practices and high quality integrated
tools to ensure the scalability and reliability of our solutions," said Ross
Buhrdorf, vice president of engineering, Salion, Inc. "We looked to Rational
because of the highly flexible and configurable Rational Unified Process and
their powerful software development tools. Implementing the Rational software
development platform has enabled Salion to quickly become a leader in Revenue
Acquisition process optimization systems."
"The use of the Rational Unified Process and our leading software
development tools have liberated Salion's developers from the chaos typically
associated with software development projects," said Eric Schurr, senior vice
president of marketing, Rational Software. "By ensuring the predictability
and reliability of Salion's software, the Rational software development
platform will help Salion continue to build its business and solidify their
position as a leader in their market."
