The suite is available as a single vendor best-of-breed solution or a best-fit
solution that leverages customers' existing technology.
The Collaboration Suite, although sold separately, includes StarTeam, focusing
primarily on supporting collaboration, configuration and change management;
eXpressroom, for XML-powered content management; CaliberRM, for Web-based
requirements management; CaliberRBT for requirements-based test case generation;
CodeWright, a universal developer toolkit; and Galaxy, a collaborative
communication layer for all Starbase products.
Key modeling and testing solutions from Embarcadero Technologies and Mercury
Interactive are available in the best-of-breed solution. Starbase also supports
a best-fit suite solution through multiple third-party integrations, thereby
leveraging existing corporate investments.
Starbase's Collaboration Suite provides a compelling, best-of-breed approach to
streamline the process of managing all the critical code and content assets that
must be in synch to drive effective Web sites."
"The parameters for e-business development today have changed substantially,"
stated Lydia Patterson, vice president of corporate marketing for Starbase.
"Web development teams are facing critical management challenges consisting of
several hundred contributors, varying levels of technical skill and
geographically distributed locations. Managing the creation of this mix of
digital content creates a huge and complex challenge. We believe that Starbase,
with the Collaboration Suite, is the first company to comprehensively address
these challenges by automating and integrating the entire development process."
