CM Crossroads Announces Partnership with Elsinore

SANTA BARBARA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- (October 22, 2003) -- CM Crossroads, the world's largest online community dedicated to Configuration Management is pleased to announce a partnership with Elsinore Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise issue management tools, to host online discussion forums for the users of Elsinore’s Visual Intercept Enterprise Issue Management System.

CM Crossroads is a collaboration web site designed to provide members free and unlimited access to information and resources to help them succeed in their application development projects. By sponsoring the developer community at CM Crossroads, Elsinore both strengthens its commitment to customers, and helps position itself as a leader in the SCM industry.

“Because Visual Intercept is a highly customizable issue management system, not a single tool, I believe there are many kinds of knowledge our users will share via the forum,” said John Lockhart, Elsinore’s Product Manager. “For example, there are many custom tools and add-ons our customers have created using the Visual Intercept Software Developer’s Kit. The forum provides an efficient way for our users to share and improve on the work of their peers rather than re-invent customizations they never knew existed. Other users simply want more information on best practices or creative ways our products have been used by other organizations. The extensive body of CM knowledge available on CM Crossroads is another benefit to our users and another reason we are excited to have our forum hosted there.”

“We welcome Elsinore Technologies joining as our latest sponsoring company as a sign of the times. We see the community continuing to expand to include users of software products from various facets of total configuration management.” said Patrick Egan, Managing Editor for CM Crossroads. "In practice, configuration management practitioners must interact with a wide variety of application development tools from an equally wide range of vendors. Having access to user discussion groups for these various tools and vendors, the community members can gain easily from each other’s experiences. I am excited to welcome Elsinore Technologies to the community, and look forward to seeing how the Visual Intercept users will add to the growing Body of Knowledge at CM Crossroads.”
