Software application development has grown and matured at a breathtaking speed with challenges that often surpass even the seasoned technology professional’s experience and expectations. Many large scale development efforts fail because they lack proper IT controls, right sized development processes and appropriate development tools to support the Global development effort. Reviewing MKS Integrity Suite has been an experience of discovering that some tools and vendors are way ahead of the pack by embracing solid underlying protocols, technologies and application architectures. The disciplines of Software Configuration and Release Management are emerging as essential software development best practices and MKS is clearly emerging as an industry leader by embracing leading technologies and industry standard protocols as the core foundation of their MKS Integrity Suite.
