Repository Technologies, Inc. Announces ControlFirst Interface to PVCS

Problem Tracking, Release Management, and Version Control Software

(Woodridge, IL, January 12, 1994) -- Repository Technologies, Inc. (RTI)
announced an interface between its ControlFirst system (CFS) and
INTERSOLV's PVCS source code version control system. ControlFirst provides
problem tracking, workflow management, and release control for software
development organizations. PVCS is a configuration management tool that
tracks the changes to components of a software system.

"Software development is becoming an increasingly complex task," said Dr.
E. James Emerson, RTI's founder and President. "Today's distributed
computing environments demand a more disciplined approach to software
development. With the addition of our PVCS interface, CFS provides the
first comprehensive problem management environment for software
development organizations."

"To ensure that software configuration management (SCM) is integrated into
all aspects of the software development lifecycle, INTERSOLV has worked
with RTI to combine the market-leading PVCS family with the ControlFirst
system," says Gary Greenfield, COO at INTERSOLV. "The combination of PVCS
and CFS gives software developers a comprehensive SCM solution, with the
added benefits of problem tracking and release management."

CFS, an extension of RTI's popular CustomerFirst customer support product
line, provides a central repository for all enhancement and problem
information, regardless of the source. Problems are recorded by quality
assurance or development and are all easily tracked and monitored.
Development records information about the fix including the modules that
require modification and the product version in which the fix will be
incorporated. With this central repository, development can ensure that
all items are incorporated in the next product release and can easily
determine the modules that were changed to fix each problem. Since all
occurrences of the same bug or enhancement are linked, each problem is
addressed only once, and none are overlooked.

With the interface between CFS and INTERSOLV's PVCS, users of CFS can GET
and PUT a group of source code modules associated with a problem from
within CFS. All PVCS locking and unlocking features are also accessible.
CFS provides a complete history of all actions that have been taken for
each module. Interfaces to a variety of source code editors are also
available.

RTI is a privately held software supplier based in Woodridge, IL, a Chicago
suburb. RTI's product line includes tools that enable software development
organizations to provide excellent customer service and quality assured
products.
