royalblue signs Perforce as SCM of choice

Yateley, UK, Mar. 11, 2002 - royalblue financial has selected the Perforce Software Configuration Management (SCM) solution as its development environment.

royalblue financial is a leading global supplier of financial trading software, support and implementation services. The Perforce solution will be deployed to over 100 software engineers within the development team working on royalblue's flagship fidessa product.

The fidessa trading platform, the collective name for royalblue's range of applications, automates the front and mid-office business flows for sell side firms trading equities in the US, European, Japanese and Asian markets.

"We chose Perforce because it's fast, simple to use, functionally rich and cost effective," comments Paul Nokes, marketing director of royalblue. "We have deployed the solution within the fidessa development team and expect to extend our relationship now that it has proved itself in a real life situation."

Dave Robertson, Perforce Software's General Manager in Europe says, "Perforce's flexible and robust workflow design allows companies to easily implement the design methodology they choose. There are definitely direct advantages, like Perforce's speed and rich functionality, which reduce both product time-to-market and development costs. However, we are also finding that some of our customers are using new and innovative design methodologies to compete in marketplaces where the windows of opportunity appear to be shrinking. Perforce's unique features, like its Inter-File Branching™ technology and intuitive organisation of different forms of related data, make it the SCM of choice in these situations."
