10/7/07 IBM Rational Edge to Publish SourceIQ Governance Solution

Portsmouth, NH, October 7, 2007 – SourceIQ, the leading global provider of software metrics solutions for managers, will be featured in IBM’s Rational Edge magazine this month with an article titled “Development Governance for Software Management: Using IBM Rational Tools to Assess Variability and Standards Compliance.” Over the past several issues, The Rational Edge has focused on IT governance as it pertains to software development.

“This article examines best practices for specific metrics that management can use to enable teams in these changing times,” stated Mr. Dunn, “and how an IBM Rational infrastructure can be leveraged to catalyze the benefits conferred through applying these benefits.”

The article focuses on the “Governance Triad”, which describes how each of the critical components of Governance, Standards and Compliance work to support and inform one another.

Effective governance as it relates to application development has taken on much greater importance recently due to the increase in regulatory compliance from requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and many compliance measures. Management increasingly needs greater insight into the governance process with objective analytics that are easily accessed with SourceIQ’s solution.
