Electric Cloud's ElectricCommander Now Shipping

- ElectricCommander Automates and Simplifies Software Build, Package, Test and Deploy Process -

Mountain View, CA, December 19, 2006 — Electric Cloud® today announced the general availability of ElectricCommander™, the industry's first enterprise-class solution to automate the software production management process -- namely the build/package/test/deploy tasks. ElectricCommander joins Electric Cloud's award-winning ElectricAccelerator™ and ElectricInsight™ products to create the industry's only solution for complete software production management.

"The software production process -- everything after the design and coding phases -- is increasingly the bottleneck for organizations, especially those with distributed development teams," said Mike Maciag, CEO at Electric Cloud. "ElectricCommander automates and simplifies even the most complex projects, making development more productive and allowing valuable developer resources to be used intelligently -- not for generic, recurring tasks."

ElectricCommander: Enterprise Solution Scales to Projects of Any Size
ElectricCommander makes the typically-manual software build, package, test and deployment tasks more repeatable, more visible and more efficient. Unlike traditional build management tools, ElectricCommander is the first truly enterprise-class solution, allowing customers to:

  • Manage Projects of Any Size: While simple to set up and use, ElectricCommander scales to support the largest and most complex build and test processes. Only ElectricCommander's multi-threaded Java server provides efficient synchronization even under high job volume.
  • Share and Reuse Project Assets: ElectricCommander's unique information architecture groups items in virtual projects and each item is stored with metadata that makes it simple to identify assets or procedures for reuse. Shared assets and reuse makes individual teams more efficient by eliminating duplicate work, and gives organizations the power to deploy cross-company standards.
  • Make Processes Transparent and Repeatable: ElectricCommander's unique analytics provide valuable insight into the details of production jobs, not just success of failure. After each step in a process completes, a postprocessor is invoked to extract information from the step's log file-this information is kept as persistent properties, providing easy access to diagnostic information.
  • Optimize Without Reengineering: Unlike other solutions that require engineering teams to learn new languages and processes, ElectricCommander is easy to adopt and roll out across teams with a highly interactive Web interface and simple techniques for migrating existing scripts.

Until now, most organizations have used 'homegrown' solutions that can be difficult to manage, brittle and isolated, resulting in process bottlenecks. This is all compounded by increasing adoption of agile development methods, distributed teams, and pressures of compliance mandates.
