Illume offers a wide range of Software Configuration Management services. We have experience in implementing commercial SCM solutions as well as Open Source solutions. Sometimes, all you need is a little extra help. Given a remit our consultants can design bespoke SCM solutions or assist with the implementation of off-the-shelf packages.
Are you in two minds about how to manage multiple releases of your application or components or how to manage a distributed development team? Illume is well suited to provide you with consultancy for all your software configuration management needs.
If you are unsure what artefacts to place under version control or how best you should organise the source code repository then we can help. Having established the source code repository we will recommend the best approach to change management to ensure that you are able to track changes being made to the artefacts.
The change management process brings benefits when it is combined (integrated) with the development, build and release processes. An integrated change control and version control is essential if you are serious about tracking changes to software.
Knowing what effect a proposed change will have on an application under version control, or how one change is related to another is at the heart of software configuration management. Knowing the impact a change will have before making the change is usually of benefit to any development project. A good SCM solution should provide you with the means to run what-if scenarios. The results can be taken into consideration when planning project deliverables.
