How it works...

ARCAD-Skipper is one single Software Configuration Management tool able to manage all software assets in your organization, whatever the technology you are using.  The ARCAD Open Repository can be accessed either:

• From a 5250 user interface for those still developing with the native development tools,
• Via plug-ins to the Eclipse environment, and therefore from any of the Eclipse-based IDEs, such as  Rational Developer for Power (RDP),  Rational Application Developer (RAD), and also the Zend PHP IDE.
• Via plug-ins to Microsoft Team Foundation Server, or Visual Studio.

All components can either be centralized within one single database, or split across different databases on different servers.
