Case Study: Public Pension Agency improves software delivery and project visibility with Royal Cyber and IBM Rational Team Concert

Public Pension Agency - Customer Case Study

The Public Pension Agency (PPA) faced challenges with its outdated and discontinued configuration management tools, Rational ClearCase LT and ClearQuest, which lacked Arabic support and caused misalignment between development and defect tracking. With a growing team split between pension and non-pension application development, PPA needed a modern, integrated solution that could support parallel work in isolation and provide greater project visibility. They engaged vendor Royal Cyber to implement a new platform.

Royal Cyber implemented IBM Rational Team Concert on a WebSphere application server, using a two-stream setup to allow the two development teams to work independently before merging changes. This provided a single, integrated platform for change and configuration management with full Arabic support. The solution gave managers real-time project dashboards for better oversight and automated the build process, leading to the customer witnessing remarkable improvements in overall software development efforts and time, significantly reducing costs.
