*** Supporting versioning systems across the enterprise *** 
March Hare announces complete CVS support offering


Complete support, training and installation services for world's most popular version 
control system, CVS 

17th August 2004: International IT consultancy March Hare has launched a full 
portfolio of support, training and installation services for the world's most deployed 
version control system, CVS (concurrent versions system). Since its inception several 
years ago, CVS has become the dominant open-source, transparent version control 
solution, allowing developers to create and amend working versions of source code 
without the worry of overwriting each other's changes or losing archived versions. 

As a key player in CVS' continued development for the last five years, March Hare now 
offers a mixture of support plans to suit all organisation types - from small 
communities of users to large international development teams - helping them to 
realise the cost savings attached to deploying a version control environment. 

"Today's development communities often span multiple time-zones in multiple enterprise 
locations whilst collaborating on single projects," explains Tony Hoyle, Development 
Manager at March Hare. "CVSNT's popularity has increased exponentially as a means of 
managing multi-developer teams within Windows, Unix, MAC OS X and Linux environments. 
The control system tool [CVS] is widely available free of charge. However, it became 
apparent that companies needed to minimise risk and ensure the security and stability 
of the software that keeps them running. Our support and training packages are 
designed for this purpose."

All support plans provide customised security issue notification, regular patch 
delivery, telephone support (worldwide) and input into feature development. Training 
for users and administrators is also provided.

"Effective version control is essential for the management of successful enterprise 
development projects", adds Adrian Gosbell, Uniface Product Manager at Compuware. "The 
value that March Hare offers to organisations successfully building and maintaining 
mission critical Uniface applications has been expanded with the inclusion of CVS as 
part of their offering to the development community".

"For an organisation new to CVS it is essential that CVS installation is aligned with 
the company culture and its requirements. One of the features of CVS is its 
flexibility - which can translate into decision paralysis for an organisation new to 
corporate configuration management. March Hare assists with its proven QuickStart 
Requirements Analysis programme, in addition we can integrate defect tracking systems, 
build management and tree management systems into the environment," finishes Hoyle. 

Support services start at �2000 for a single site. 

Platform support will continue to be expanded to include MVS, OS/400, VMS, 64 bit 
Windows, Windows Clusters and more.
