AccuRev SCM Streamlines Geographically Distributed Development for Data Warehouse Appliances at Netezza: Enables Refactoring, Iterative Integrat
LEXINGTON, Mass. (BusinessWire EON) May 21, 2007 --
Netezza conducted an exhaustive search for a replacement to its previous file-based SCM tool and short-listed AccuRev, IBM Rational ClearCase, Perforce and CollabNet Subversion. According to Dick Wallace, Technology Director, Internal Development Tools, Netezza, "AccuRev just kept bubbling to the top of the list as the top contender for power, efficiency and ease of use with a low total cost of ownership."
Several development initiatives at Netezza required a software configuration management tool that could easily manage code refactoring, enable an iterative development approach to increase the speed and agility of the development process, and efficiently manage a geographically distributed and offshore development scenario while managing multiple parallel releases.
"AccuRev enabled us to improve our process to manage a large number of projects and move to a weekly integration and testing schedule while continually improving our code base through refactoring," said Dick Wallace. "We have increased development productivity by 20 percent when integrating changes from other projects alone, since adopting a short-cycle iterative development methodology with AccuRev. We are also finding defects sooner and spending far less time merging. This would never have been possible with our previous tool."

Viking Appliances | Washing Clothes Are No More A Difficult Task.
Thousands of years ago, clothing was hand-washed by rinsing them through the flowing water of the streams or under the running taps. Soap was rubbed very hard to remove the dirty stains and oil. It was really necessary to rub constantly hard to make the clothes shine. Some would do this by pounding and beating the clothes on rocks near the streams. As water had to be heated on fire for finer results of washing clothes, the warm soapy water was precious as fuel was also not easily available in those days. The soap water was stored and again it was re-used for the next washing.
