/24-7PressRelease/ - BANGALORE, INDIA, July 25, 2008 - Serena Software announces the latest version of its enterprise-ready software solution for managing and tracking requirements through a project's lifecycle, Serena Dimensions RM 10.1.4. The new version further streamlines requirements definition activities that many business analysts and project managers find tedious and cumbersome, yet are critical for application development teams.
Serena (Dimensions), named to the Leaders Quadrant by Gartner, Inc. (Magic Quadrant for Software Change and Configuration Management for Distributed Platforms, 2008 by Jim Duggan and Daniel Stang, January 23, 2008), helps corporations keep product development on track and deliver new software solutions that are timely and within the original project scope. With Dimensions RM, development teams can gather requirements at the beginning of planning, track their integration into products and manage them throughout the application development lifecycle.
"Serena has an ongoing commitment to continue to upgrade and update our product offerings, and deliver the most visionary and leading products in requirements management," said Carl Theobald, Senior Vice President, Products for Serena.
According to Gartner's report, "Gartner estimates that market revenue growth for SCCM occurred at an average of 10% to 13% annually during the past several years. The escalation of needs to achieve faster, along with more successful deployment of changes to software, make it likely that this sector will continue to grow at a rate of 10% annually during the next five years."
