Synergy synchronizes repositories Telelogic on Monday will announce CM Synergy, Release 6.3 and ChangeSynergy, Release 4.3, extending the company’s Synergy product line to improve support for global development, according to the company.Telelogic’s product line helps development teams who may, because of being located in different corners of the globe, have to cope with a 12-hour time difference, according to company officials.“One of the problems that we have seen a lot in the past year or so is mobile development. Companies have mobile teams in different [parts] of the world,” said Dominic Tavassoli, Telelogic products marking manager for Synergy, in Irvine, Calif. Outsourcing of development and offshore development also pose problems, he said. “One of the keys is setting up processes, whereas before, development could be done in an ad hoc way,” Tavassoli said.Telelogic is unifying change management and project management, said Tavassoli.Synergy supports global development by keeping physical repositories in different locations in sync, letting remote teams work together as though they are in one large database. ChangeSynergymanages changes requests, enabling it to track user-submitted problem reports and enhancement requests through ChangeSynergey’s Web interface. Advanced reporting also is provided. CM Synergy manages versions of source code, enabling development of large systems with thousands of files.ChangeSynergyand CM Synergy are integrated for traceability from a change request to the code that implements the change, enabling tracking of software changes back to the customer who requested it, Telelogic said.Version 6.3 features ActiveCM, for monitoring the file system and saving user changes into the CM Synergy repository. Synergy pricing begins at $1,500 for a single user for a per-user CM Synergy LT (Light) license, scaling to $3,090 per user for a Distributed Synergy Suite License, or $6,680 for concurrent, floating Distributed Synergy Suite licenses.
