The capability will also extend to Merant Dimensions in a future release of Logidex, scheduled for early 2004, providing customers further value in using and reusing SDAs within enterprises. Merant's PVCS Version Manager is the industry standard for source code control, software configuration management (SCM (1) (Software Configuration Management, Source Code Management) See configuration management.

Within Logidex, the PVCS Asset Adapter defines which assets and artifacts artifacts see specimen artifacts. should be accessed, creates metadata for those assets and automatically publishes and loads the metadata into the Logidex SDA Library. "Being a worldwide corporation, CNA (Certified NetWare Administrator) See Novell certification. has thousands of SDAs that need to be found and organized in order to effectively use them," said Dmitry Tyomkin, enterprise architect, CNA Insurance. "CNA has been using Logidex and PVCS Version Manager to aid in building a service-oriented architecture See SOA. , for which they have been key in meeting and even beating project goals. I believe this partnership is a smart move for both companies." When assets are added, modified or deleted from the PVCS Asset Adapter, the Logidex SDA Library is automatically updated to reflect the changes. The partnership automates and simplifies library maintenance and streamlines the process of identifying candidate assets and preparing those assets for reuse, allowing development teams to produce higher-quality software - quickly and reliably. Joint customers can maintain control of their mission-critical SDAs in their primary systems of record, while leveraging these SDAs within and across projects, maximizing the return on their investment. "LogicLibrary's partnership with Merant gives Logidex users the ability to rapidly identify valuable assets in building their Logidex libraries," said Alan Himler, vice president of product management at LogicLibrary. "PVCS Version Manager is a powerful tool for organizing revisions, enabling concurrent and parallel development and reducing common team coordination errors. As a leading system of record for enterprise development teams, it serves as an ideal Logidex AnySource Asset Adapter." "Developers must be able to quickly deploy new applications, and developing those applications depends on an understanding of what software development assets already exist," said Mark Manzo, senior director of strategic alliances at Merant.
