Seapine Software’s Surround SCM 4.0 Manages Change Across the Enterprise
and Around the World
Mason, Ohio – (BUSINESS WIRE) – July 21, 2005 – Seapine Software, Inc., a
leading provider of adaptable application lifecycle management (AALM)
solutions, announced today the immediate availability of Surround SCM 4.0
for software change management (SCM). Version 4.0 of Seapine’s
cross-platform SCM solution adds advanced features such as full WebDAV and
Unicode support, improved branch management, and enhanced reports.
Increasing Surround SCM’s ability to address the needs of enterprise users,
version 4.0 offers full support for WebDAV. This feature gives users access
to the most recent versions of their files from any Web browser. WebDAV
support also enables users to integrate Surround SCM into Microsoft
(NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Explorer, Mac OS X Finder, Linux davfs filesystem,
Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and additional applications.
“With Surround SCM 4.0, non-technical users can realize the benefits of
change control and versioning without changing the way they work or
learning a new application,” said Richard Riccetti, Seapine Software’s
president and CEO. “From the end user’s perspective, they are just
accessing their files on another network drive – with the added benefit
that they can roll back to an older file version or compare two versions
when necessary.”
To accommodate development teams and users developing products for markets
outside North America and Western Europe, Surround SCM 4.0 includes full
Unicode support, allowing users to work with files, labels, and comments in
any language. All Surround SCM 4.0 clients on all supported operating
systems are Unicode enabled.
In addition, Surround SCM 4.0 users can now easily view differences between
selected file versions or all file versions in a selected branch. The
resulting differences report is generated in standard diff format for use
with third-party file patch utilities such as the open source tool GNU
patch. Other enhancements in Surround SCM 4.0 include new branch
attributes, automatic software update notification, and more.

Surround SCM 4.0 is available immediately. Pricing begins at $595.00 for
named licenses and $1495 for floating licenses. For additional information
