E-Business Services
LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Rational Software Corporation
(Nasdaq: RATL) today announced that Commerce One Global Services, a division
of Commerce One, Inc., the e-marketplace company, is using the main components
of Rational Suite(R) Enterprise, a software development solution, to manage
quality assurance throughout the software development life cycle.
Commerce One Global Services is using Rational RequisitePro(R), Rational
Rose(R) and Rational ClearQuest(R), as well as Rational ClearCase(R) and the
performance testing capabilities of Rational Suite TestStudio(TM) to customize
Commerce One e-marketplace solutions for each customer, as well as manage
custom application development projects.
Since implementing Rational Suite Enterprise, Commerce One Global Services
has reduced the time spent tracking changes and improvements. Incorporating
Rational Suite Enterprise into Commerce One Global Services' daily development
practices has reduced the length of software development life cycles by as
much as 25 percent.
Rational tools enable Commerce One Global Services to deliver solutions
that are more closely aligned with customer requirements, which results in
fewer subsequent software releases and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
"We believe that Rational Suite Enterprise offers us a complete software
development life cycle solution designed to reduce time in the development
process significantly," said Mark Pietrasanta, vice president of technology
for Commerce One Global Services, Southeast Region. "Commerce One Global
Services is committed to helping its customers to realize ROI quickly.
Reducing implementation time while tailoring e-commerce solutions to meet the
individual needs of customers are critical factors in achieving this goal."

higher quality solutions in less time, and therefore continue to enable
business-to-business e-commerce globally," said Eric Schurr, senior vice
president of marketing for Rational Software.
