Context<\/h3>\n

Software undergoes change because of major development related to financial sector reforms, which come out every few years. Clients\u2019 specific versions are modified based on their needs and\/or changes in the SLIB product line. To handle this, the company needed a tool to manage multiple software versions, make sure the versions were coherent, and respond to security concerns. In particular, developers were faced with the problem of simultaneous modification of the same programs. They also needed to create cross references.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h3>\n

\u201cSLIB chose ARCAD-Skipper in 1998,\u201d explains Philippe Cognet, General Director of SLIB. \u201cWhile the first version of the product only handled a development center dedicated to a single product for a single client, ARCAD
\nSoftware transformed it to adapt it to our situation, with multiple versions of
\nproducts transferred to production at various times for a variety of clients.
\nSLIB can now internally manage 100 to 200 combinations of software versions
\nin its application.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
