Lexington, MA — June 30, 2005

AccuRev®, Inc., developer of the first breakthrough in software configuration management (SCM) in over 20 years, today announced a strategic partnership with TechExcel, a market leader in process management tools. Under the terms of the agreement, AccuRev and TechExcel have integrated AccuRev�s award-winning SCM solution with TechExcel�s DevTrack tool. The combined offering enables software engineers and development teams to manage distributed development projects more efficiently than ever before by leveraging AccuRev�s stream-based SCM architecture, while ensuring software quality and issue tracking with the tight integration of TechExcel�s DevTrack tool. The solution is available immediately for all AccuRev and TechExcel customers.

Kronos Incorporated, a provider of workforce management solutions, is the first AccuRev and TechExcel customer to request this new offering. Â?WeÂ?ve requested the integration of these two best-of-breed tools to help our engineering group work more efficiently and cost-effectively,Â? said Ben Mast, director of quality assurance at Kronos, Inc. Â?We endeavor to provide our engineering group with the tools that best match our needs, and now with this integrated solution from AccuRev and TechExcel, our teams will be able to work both more effectively and productively.Â?

AccuRevÂ?s stream-based architecture, which dramatically accelerates software development processes over traditional file-based change management tools, has been developed specifically for todayÂ?s market conditions, typified by larger parallel and remote development teams, in addition to the competitive pressures of shorter development cycles. TechExcelÂ?s DevTrack tool comprehensively tracks and manages all product defects and change requests, facilitating efficient collaboration and teamwork among developers. By bringing these two best of breed solutions together, AccuRev and TechExcel will enable developers to reconcile all SCM and issue tracking challenges within a single integrated environment.
