PacGenesis, Inc. Develops SCM Accelerator Solution

Automatically migrate to Rational Team Concert Enterprise Edition (RTC EE)

AUSTIN, TX – PacGenesis, Inc., (www.PacGenesis.com) formally announced the launch of the SCM Accelerator Solution to automatically migrate customers from any Mainframe SCM to Rational Team Concert Enterprise Edition (RTC EE) at IBM’s Innovate Summit in Orlando, Florida.  The Enterprise SCM Accelerator provides a holistic solution including tools to solve the technical hurdles of a migration, training to quickly ramp up your work force on RTC, and a defined process that is proven and repeatable.

The SCM Accelerator, developed by PacGenesis, Inc. founder Scott Pecnik, combines a unique software plus services approach for a complete end-to-end solution.  Using development best practices, modern ALM tools, and by empowering the developer community, PacGenesis, Inc. can execute a successful migration for customers of all shapes and sizes. The Accelerator runs on z/OS®, and working off input from the customer scrubs existing source and organizes it for import into RTC.  Project areas and system definitions will be configured using development best practices to ensure a seamless transition.

“We’re excited to launch our Accelerator.  After working with the IBM Rational suite of products for several years, I know how time consuming and cumbersome an adoption can be.  Our solution is the result of both internal IBM experience and extensive work in the field.  We believe that this unique approach to addressing RTC adoption has been missing from today’s market landscape and are confident that it will improve customer success across the board,” said Scott Pecnik, founder of PacGenesis, Inc.

Mike Virga, of the IBM Rational ChannelWorks team, sees this as a unique identifier saying,  "PacGenesis, Inc. has created a tool that not only automates the most manual of the migration tasks that, in the past would take days, weeks, and more but it also increases the quality of the deliverable by enforcing best practices and eliminating errors."

SCM migrations are historically lengthy and complex projects.  By using the PacGenesis, Inc. SCM Accelerator, businesses can significantly decrease migration time by automating what was once a manual process.  Instead of relying on internal resources to become experts on a newly introduced tool right out of the gate, customers can now use the PacGenesis, Inc. Accelerator to ensure a best RTC configuration. This means that developers can spend time learning how to use RTC instead of focusing on the burden of the migration. In turn, the adoption will be smoother and quicker.

The SCM Accelerator can reduce costs by 50 percent while also decreasing the migration time from months to weeks. In the end, the code will be migrated and the customer can be assured that it's imported into RTC for optimal usage based on use cases that have been endorsed by some of the world's top financial institutions.
