AscendoSoft AccurSee for UC4 – General Availability

Release date: April 4, 2012

Redmond, WA - AscendoSoft Inc., a leading provider of software and services in the application automation and data quality/privacy markets, today announced AccurSee for UC4 is now generally available.  AccurSee for UC4 enables UC4 Applications Manager customers to shorten batch testing and improve the quality of production applications by providing a comparison between automation environments.

As part of the AccurSee Product Family, AccurSee for UC4 provides a comparison of UC4 Applications Manager (formerly AppWorx) environments and highlights potential issues that may arise because of batch processing inconsistencies.   The AccurSee reports provide UC4 Operations and Administrations teams with details to improve accuracy in batch processing, reduce testing errors, and proactively identify issues that could negatively impact production.  AccurSee ensures that there is consistency between automation environments and improves the quality of production automation. As part of their best practices for UC4, businesses are deploying AccurSee as part of their application automation promotion process.

“The feedback from our early customers has been extremely positive.  One of our customers commented about how it helped prevent a process flow going into production with incorrect conditions.  Many studies have shown that the cost of finding and solving problems is much higher in production than in development and test environments.” states AscendoSoft CTO, Alex Givens.  “AccurSee helps find batch issues earlier in the Application Lifecycle and ensures better and more accurate testing of UC4 objects prior to promotion to the next stage of the lifecycle.”

AscendoSoft Announces the AccurSee Product Family

Release date: January 31, 2012

Redmond, WA - AscendoSoft Inc., a leading provider of software and services in the application automation and data quality/privacy markets, today announced the upcoming release of the AccurSee Product Family.  The AccurSee Family will enable customers using UC4 AppWorx/Applications Manager to shorten development and testing and improve the quality of production applications, by providing insight into the differences between automation environments.

“We see strong growth for the AccurSee product family because there is a growing need for IT automation teams to more efficiently manage the application automation life cycle.  Development is progressing well and we expect to release AccurSee on time in March 2012.  The interest in AccurSee is considerable.” said Jim Holck, AscendoSoft CSO. “Our vision is to continue to provide automation solutions and we have additional product ideas that will expand the breadth of AccurSee and help us meet our customer and revenue growth projections.

”IT Operations and Automation teams at all types of businesses manage complex batch processing and those using UC4 AppWorx/Applications Manager have some unique requirements.  UC4 Administrators manage operation of the mission critical software while also assuring that automation of applications is well-tested before they are promoted into production.  They manage multiple, complex AppWorx/AM environments (e.g. Production, QA, Test, Development, etc.) and the upcoming AccurSee Product Family provides a comparison of automation environments, delivering information that can eliminate automation errors and reduce troubleshooting time.

AccurSee provides significant benefit to IT Operations in all businesses:

  • Improves the quality of the application promotion process by finding differences in environments

  • Enhances development planning by seeing how changes will affect your batch processing

  • Gives business users accurate data by ensuring Reporting and Production environments match

  • Speeds AppWorx/AM development and testing by eliminating run-time errors

  • Reduces IT Operations troubleshooting time through improved visibility to inconsistencies

“With growing automation demands within IT organizations, AccurSee solves an ongoing testing problem of determining the difference between two environments, e.g. is what I have in QA the same as what I have in production.  The idea for developing AccurSee came from discussions with our Open Solutions DNA customer base where they identified the problem of managing automation promotion within multiple AppWorx/AM environments. ” said AscendoSoft COO Brian Miller.  “We look forward to releasing AccurSee to a wider audience than our current solution for Open Solutions DNA customers.”

AscendoSoft brings AccurSee to the Open Solutions DNA Market

Release date: November 1, 2011

Redmond, WA - AscendoSoft Inc., a leading provider of software and services in the credit union and banking market, today announced the availability of a new software product, AccurSee. AscendoSoft’s AccurSee provides customers with a method to improve testing of product updates and is initially being marketed to institutions that use Open Solutions DNA and UC4/AppWorx products.

“We are excited to release AccurSee, especially given early feedback.  We have successfully completed early testing, and discussions with prospects and customers have proven that there is a demand for a product that can help IT Operations proactively manage product updates and shorten new release testing cycles.” said Alex Givens, AscendoSoft CTO. “I have a vision that will extend AccurSee to provide broader application comparison analysis for IT personnel.  AccurSee was developed after we solved several issues that were discovered while consulting at various institutions.”

IT Operations at Credit Unions and Community Banks typically manage many vendor products while trying to ensure they are meeting the demands of the business units. Application updates from the vendor are common and with AccurSee comparison reports, customers can accurately find discrepancies ahead of development and testing. AccurSee reports help IT Operations eliminate run-time errors and speed development and testing phases by reducing the amount of time spent troubleshooting DNA job changes.

“AccurSee improves our growth potential for the coming years, as we have the opportunity to expand into several new markets. Based on initial feedback from Open Solutions DNA customers, we have provided a solution with a very quick ROI, since a single error in testing cost more to troubleshoot than AccurSee. AccurSee helps DNA and UC4 AppWorx/AM automation administrators better manage testing issues when new releases of DNA are installed. Also, during meetings with our initial customers, we have discovered additional enhancements that will increase the value of AccurSee.” said AscendoSoft CSO James Holck.  “Our plan is to expand our AccurSee development, marketing, and sales efforts to increase our customer base.”
