SCRAM: Software Configuration, Release, and Management

The development of large-scale software projects across geographical boundaries requires rigorous configuration management. The author discusses SCRAM, short for Software Configuration, Release and Management, a flexible and scalable software-development tool designed for such a task. SCRAM provides configuration management, distribution, and software build services to ensure consistent and easy to use development environments that work in a multiplatform environment. This enables autonomous development groups to work together. (0 refs).
