Context Integration Utilizes Rational Rose as a Key Enabler
For its Client Satisfaction Program
LEXINGTON, Mass., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ --
Rational Software (Nasdaq: RATL) today announced that Context Integration, a
leading e-business solutions integrator, has standardized on Rational Rose(R)
to help quickly deliver large-scale, complex systems for relationship
management, process optimization and business web solutions that are secure,
reliable and stable. Context Integration designs and develops these systems
using ContextWISE(TM), a Rational Unified Process(R)-based methodology.
With 45 senior architects using Rational Rose, Context Integration
concurrently manages approximately 35 to 40 projects. Based on the Unified
Modeling Language (UML), Rational Rose's design capabilities help Context
Integration ensure the quality and quick delivery of applications, while
enabling analysts and designers to develop and enhance use cases and object
models. Prior to using Rational Rose, Context Integration spent significant
time adapting systems designs to the frequently shifting requirements common
in today's enterprises. Using Rational Rose, Context Integration can now
rapidly and thoroughly examine and assess the design changes needed to meet
new requirements by modeling the information required to make mission-critical
decisions.
"Creating models with Rational Rose enables clear communication of
requirements and gives Context Integration the capability to rapidly construct
quality designs for the systems on which our clients depend," said Chuck
McCann, director of Strategic Services, Context Integration. "The delivery of
quality models and systems allows us to achieve a tremendous satisfaction rate
among our customers, and we view Rational Rose as a key enabler for our Client
Satisfaction program."
