Which software configuration management (SCM) system is right for you?

Written by Carlos Almeida
Published on January 31, 2011

Software Configuration Management SystemsAt SPK and Associates we are often asked for direction with respect to versioning control systems. The management of software and related artifacts is core to your development process and a key factor in determining the operational productivity of your organization.   But where do you start?   There are dozens of configuration management systems available to choose from.  Some are free, some are pricey.  Some are integrated with defect tracking and project management capabilities. Others are stand-alone tools focusing only on version control.

There is no one right answer to selecting your company’s versioning system.  Every business has unique requirements and operational culture.  Download our paper on software configuration management systems to find out more about one of our experiences from the selection process through deployment.   Hopefully, reviewing the information may help you down the path of determining:  “Which software configuration management (SCM) system is right for you?”

SPK and Associates are experts in IT engineering, and provide Build and Release Consulting Services for companies nationwide. Contact us to learn more about our Software Configuration Management (SCM) services.
