Lafayette, CA - August 1, 2001 - TechExcel, a leading developer of intelligent software solutions that optimize today's business processes, today announced the immediate availability of a new integration module with the Perforce SCM system. The Perforce integration is a standard feature of the new DevTrack 4.2 release, which is currently available for download and evaluation from the TechExcel web site.

"Perforce is a recognized leader in Software Configuration Management, and DevTrack is a clear leader in defect tracking", said Tieren Zhou, President and CEO of TechExcel. "The integration of DevTrack and Perforce provides a truly seamless solution that leverages the full power of these two industry-leading packages."

The combined DevTrack/Perforce solution provides truly seamless tracking and management of development issues and all associated code changes, dramatically increasing the efficiency and productivity of software development teams.
