Adaptive Announces Next Major Release of its Repository Suite of Products, Built on the Acclaimed Adaptive Foundation(TM). Check it out:WASHINGTON --(Business Wire)-- Adaptive, Inc., a leading provider of standards-based Repository products, today announced the general availability of Version 4.0 of its Adaptive product suite, including Adaptive Foundation(TM), Adaptive Enterprise Architecture Manager(TM) (EAM), Adaptive Business Process Manager(TM) (BPM), Adaptive IT Portfolio Manager(TM) (ITPM) and Adaptive Project Portfolio Manager(TM) (PPM).
New features in Adaptive's Version 4.0 release include:
-- UML 2.1 Import/Export
Adaptive continues its industry leading support for the use of standards to achieve interoperability with other tools and data sources by providing import/export of UML 2.1, the latest version of the OMG(R) standard for systems analysis and design.
Import/Export of UML 2.1 allows Adaptive users to exchange modeling information with the latest version of the UML modeling tools on the market, which enables the information from these modeling tools to be imported into Adaptive Repository(TM), integrated with modeling and architecture information from other sources, and analyzed to achieve end-to-end traceability.
-- Role-based Control of Navigation Maps, Classification Schemas and Item Types
Adaptive has extended its unique role-based control of the user interface to include navigation maps, classification schemas and item types. Making these additional capabilities role-based provides users with a more tailored user experience that is ideally suited to their specific responsibilities and the needs of the tasks they must perform.
-- Explorer View for Hierarchical Relations
Adaptive Version 4.0 has added a new Explorer view for hierarchical relations. This Explorer view is used for displaying hierarchical relationships such as process/function decomposition, and organization structures in intuitive tree structures, and supports selective expanding and closing of "tree branches". An in-place focus panel allows users to select an item of interest from the tree view and immediately see its detail appear in the panel without waiting for a separate window to open, or losing sight of the original hierarchy.
-- Support for Oracle(R) 10g and Oracle(R) 10g/XE
Adaptive now supports deployment using Oracle 10g, including Oracle 10g Express Edition (Oracle 10g/XE), providing users with the most current and robust database management system. Oracle is providing Oracle 10g/XE free to use for smaller installations. Use of Oracle 10g/XE can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership for an Adaptive installation.
-- Version Merging
Adaptive has improved its industry leading configuration management capability by adding a merge feature that enables the changes made in separate version branches to be merged together. This merge feature supports sophisticated configuration management processes that require multiple teams to work in parallel along separate branches and then automatically integrate their changes when a milestone is reached. Users also have the ability to prioritize how conflicts are resolved during the merge.
-- Enhanced Support for SOA and Metadata Management
To better support the metadata requirements of service-oriented architecture (SOA), Adaptive has extended its underlying metamodels, item types and views to provide explicit support for modeling services and messages. Metadata Management enhancements include support for XML Schema and COBOL copybooks, and more sophisticated data lineage capabilities required to assess the impact of changes from data elements to the software and business processes affected by them.
"Based on the Adaptive vision of being the repository hub for enterprise metadata, and through close collaboration with our customers and partners, we have developed significant new capabilities in Adaptive Version 4.0.", said James B. Gambrell, CEO of Adaptive. "These new capabilities extend our technology leadership in the metadata management and enterprise architecture repository markets."
