The engineers of Pristine Software bring well over thirty years of development experience to the IBM mainframe. Historically, our focus has been in the areas of Storage Management and Software Environment Synchronization. Our first commercial product was developed for Sterling Software, providing a unique Storage Management solution. Our second internationally used commercial product, "SYNCTRAC", was registered in October 1992 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This product was developed by our company High Power Software, and jointly registered under High Power Software Inc. and SERENA Software Inc. Pristine Software was formed after High Power Software merged with SERENA Software in 1999. Today, SERENA Software is marketing "SYNCTRAC" under their family product line called "Change Man SSM". <BR>SYSchange is a Systems Software Change Management product for MVS and its derivatives including OS/390 and z/OS. SYSchange also provides valuable technologies in the areas of software configuration management, as well as business continuity planning. It also maximizes productivity by providing managers a central point of control, as well as providing Systems Programmers with a reliable process for introducing changes into the system and recovering whenever necessary. SYSchange also provides organizations with a simple, secure and accountable process for implementing their software changes using a versatile Change Request Process known as the "SYSchange CR Process." We believe in today's data centers, change management and software configuration management play vital roles in the healthy and reliable operation of that business.  Hence, systems software change management does not only translate to a safe and streamlined process for introducing changes; It also involves software integrity, security, reliability, proper software configuration management standards, and   business continuity planning. With SYSchange, all of these needs are met in a single software solution.  Furthermore, your critical libraries will always be "Protected" from authorized and unauthorized changes, and every time a change is introduced, it will be recorded and backed up for future audit and recovery purposes. <BR> With SYSchange, all change activity is monitored, recorded and backed up from a central point of control using an intelligent and innovative Started Task (called the SYSchange STC) which is automatically and transparently tracking and backing up all changes around the clock. Hence, SYSchange not only greatly reduces the time and resources required to perform traditional change management tasks, but it is also defining the direction of tomorrows disaster recovery software. For example, the approach of SYSchange for software change management is unprecedented in that it is proactive and intelligent in nature, and guarantees much higher levels of security, productivity and reliability for today's businesses. SYSchange also fits very nicely into the business continuity planning needs of today's organizations. This is due in part to an intelligent Started Task (STC) which is constantly monitoring, recording and backing up changes introduced to "Protected" Resources, so you are guaranteed that you will never loose a member version. The STC also automatically prevents unauthorized changes from being introduced, which makes SYSchange a great disaster recovery software.  Other reasons why SYSchange is a great business continuity planning solution is because users can quickly freeze or restore entire environments back to their previous healthy state, and quickly recover member backup versions on-line whenever necessary.  The capabilities of SYSchange do not end here; SYSchange is also an equally impressive tool in the area of software configuration management.  For example, SYSchange can perform rapid library reconciliation of hundreds of library pairs by automatically bringing them up to the same level without any user intervention.  SYSchange performs this rather time consuming task effortlessly in a matter of minutes!  SYSchange can also rapidly compare hundreds of library pairs to identify those members that are missing or different from each other.  Hence, both rapid mass library comparison and rapid mass library reconciliation, play vital roles in the area of software configuration management.  SYSchange performs all of these traditionally manual and time consuming tasks, quickly in a matter of minutes.  Even the migration of large software environments is greatly enhanced by several innovative library management functions which allow a user to quickly build their own custom defined promotion package and promote them to local or remote environments. </td></tr></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td> <p>Copyright © 2003  Pristine Software<i> </i>Incorporated.  All rights reserved.  Suggestions for improving this site may be sent to amadani@pristineusa.com</p> </td></tr></table></body>
