Hutchison Orders 3G Deployment Software

Hutchison 3G UK has ordered the Starbase Collaboration Suite to manage the development of its 3G network. The Starbase Collaboration Suite, comprising of StarTeam Elite, CaliberRM and Mercury Interactive Corporation's TestDirector, has been deployed by Hutchison 3G in the UK and in other Hutchison Whampoa 3G companies in Europe. It will then be deployed on Hutchison Whampoa 3G networks worldwide.

Hutchison 3G's initial purchase of Starbase's Collaboration Suite will enable over 2,000 people worldwide to manage software requirements, configuration, change management, defect tracking, testing and test management for voice and data systems that make up the 3G standard.

"The Hutchison 3G purchase is one of the largest in the history of Starbase and clearly substantiates that our value proposition is being well received in the software configuration management marketplace," stated James H. Smith, executive vice president, Starbase Customer Group. "With StarTeam Elite and our expanded product offerings, we have become a strategic solutions provider for larger organizations and are now able to meet the enterprise needs for projects of this size and scope.'"
