MILPITAS, CA-- Kovair Software, Inc. today
announced that the leading technology market research firm Forrester
Research has identified Kovair Software as the only Multirepository ALM
platforms vendor in their research report 'Selecting The Right Requirements
Management Tool -- Or Maybe None Whatsoever,' by Carey Schwaber and Peter
Sterpe for Application Development & Program Management Professionals,
published Sept 28, 2007.
"Multirepository ALM platforms provide common services to discrete
practitioner tools, obviating the need for each practitioner tool to
include redundant and inconsistent ALM functionality. The only vendor with
a requirements management solution of this sort is Kovair. Kovair Global
Lifecycle/Enterprise Edition functions as an orchestration engine for
processes spanning multiple development lifecycle tools, including Kovair's
own requirements management solution," write Carey Schwaber and Peter
Sterpe in their report.
"Kovair's Omnibus, Integration Bus for IT™ has enabled our Kovair
Global Lifecycle solution to integrate with any other SDLC tools in a
vendor neutral way and hence produce a Multirepository ALM platform as
prescribed by Carey Schwaber in her ALM 2.0 vision," said Bipin Shah, CEO
and Chairman of Kovair. "I am delighted to learn about Forrester's
recognition of Kovair's leadership position in this category."
"Multirepository ALM platform like Kovair Global Lifecycle is the most
prudent solution for any organization with multi vendor eco-system of SDLC
tools. By providing common services like Process, Traceability and
Reporting across disparate tools Repositories, Kovair brings all tools
under a single seamless process preserving their uniqueness," said Kovair's
Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Sky Basu. "More and more CIOs and
CTOs are reluctant to put all eggs in a single basket, aka single
repository ALM tools."
Kovair's Omnibus, Integration Bus for IT™ being an Integration Hub,
reduces the complexity of integrations and maintenance by an order of
magnitude from the point-to-point integrations. Omnibus Technology's Web
Services API allows these applications running on various technology
platforms to be located anywhere in the world and can work through multiple
enterprise firewalls. The high level 'Tool Class' API drastically reduces
the effort for creating Adapters for individual tools.
