Software configuration management (SCM) is a set of activities that are designed to control change by identifying the work products that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them, defining mechanisms for managing different versions of these work products, controlling changes that are imposed, and auditing and reporting on the changes that are made.

Software development organizations can be big or small, they can write code for internal use or external customers, but they all have one thing in common: every software development organization is in the business of change. Sterlite is in the business of helping you manage that change, with Enterprise Change Management and Configuration Management solutions that track and streamline software development. Our CM solutions put tools and process around your development efforts, informed by industry-standard models such as the CMM and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library.

Sterlite solutions allow you to keep focused on the task of development -- because big or small, internal or external, that’s what you do best.

Sterlite's Configuration Management solutions are based upon industry standard best practices, such as the CMM and the CMMI for software development organizations, and ITIL for operations. Our solutions provide a roadmap for software process improvement that produces results, such as:

- Reliable schedules
- Reduced levels of defects
- Improved time-to-market
- Increased productivity (reduced rework)

Sterlite brings extensive knowledge and best practices around improving application development productivity and effectiveness. We accelerate organizational maturity at all levels, with proven techniques that focus on improving process, building staff competencies and expanding knowledge capital, with specific areas of focus at each level of maturity defined by the CMMI®.

Selecting the appropriate Software Configuration Management tool involves an analysis of an organization's complete development process, including the following areas:

- Requirements management
- Change control
- Issue tracking
- Build and Release
- Software test

The software development environment itself, which includes all tools used to produce software, is also analyzed. Sterlite provides clear comparisons of the leading Configuration Management tools, as well as other tools that constitute the environment. We recommend the CM tool that best facilitates an automated software development process for the organization.
