Clearvision are an IBM Rational Tier One partner and have been delivering IBM Rational training, support, consultancy, products and discounted IBM Rational licences for over 10 years.
IBM Rational have an integrated and mature suite of SCCM products, these products are well regarded in the SCCM space and arguably IBM Rational is the SCCM market leader for large organisations:
IBM Rational ClearCase
is a tool for version control and software configuration management (SCM) of source code and other software assets. ClearCase can handle projects with hundreds or thousands of developers. Clearvision consultants have experience in all ClearCase variations including ClearCase LT (for smaller, local projects) and ClearCase MultiSite (an option for Rational ClearCase to support geographically distributed projects).
ClearCase supports two use models, Unified Change Management (UCM), and base ClearCase. UCM provides an out-of-the-box model while base ClearCase provides a basic infrastructure (upon which UCM is built) which allows for more flexibility. Both can be configured to support a wide variety of needs.
ClearCase runs on a number of platforms including AIX, z/OS, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and Windows. It can handle large binary files, large numbers of files, and large repository sizes. It handles branching, labelling, and versioning of directories.
IBM Rational ClearQuest
is a workflow automation tool (in particular defect tracking and change management) delivering repeatable, enforceable, predictable processes. Process automation Workflows are provided out-of-the-box to jumpstart your implementation and can be easily customised to meet specific needs - Clearvision have developed comprehensive workflow systems for major global corporations incorporating ClearQuest MultiSite to support geographically distributed projects.
ClearQuest is also available in a web version, which offers all the functionality of the full version except for the ability to create queries.
ClearQuest integrates well with ClearCase but is also designed to be used with other IBM Rational Software testing tools, such as Rational Performance Tester, Rational Functional Tester and Rational Manual Tester, providing a robust environment for software quality assurance.
Rational Team Concert
Open Source SCCM tools have highlighted weaknesses with traditional IBM Rational products, in particular poor performance and sensitivity to network issues. In response IBM Rational have launched Rational Team Concert.
IBM Rational Team Concert is a collaborative software delivery environment which includes integrated work item, source control and build management in addition to the improved collaboration capabilities of the Jazz environment - Rational Team Concert makes it easy to exchange information directly in the context of the work you are doing.
Jazz is IBM Rational’s technology platform for collaborative software delivery (not a product). Jazz technology enables collaboration among business stakeholders, subject matter experts, and all people that have a role to play in the delivery of software. Product offerings built on the Jazz platform will be able to leverage capabilities for team-based software development and delivery.
Rational Team Concert Standard is available with out-of-the-box integrations that enable interoperability with IBM Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, Build Forge and Subversion.
Other IBM Rational Solutions
The Clearvision team can also support other IBM Rational products including Requisite Pro, BuildForge, Portfolio Manager, Software Architect, Systems Developer, Rational Rose Technical Developer, Software Modeller, Data Architect, Rational Rose Data Modeller, Purify Plus and Test RealTime.
