ClearCheck > 3 Reasons why your Organization Needs ClearCheck

1. Protect R&D's Most Valuable Asset

Business continuity is not just a buzzword. Time lost on fixing, scanning and analyzing ClearCase problems wastes time, money and energy which directly affect the company's bottom line.

ClearCheck implements:

• Accurate reports - covers all possible errors so you know whether VOBs are healthy or not, and if not, what is wrong with them.
• Preventive maintenance - identify and fix problems before they affect the work of end-users. Take a proactive support approach!

Many organizations experience 1-2 major ClearCase failures annually which may cost tens of thousands of dollars . Use our ROI Calculator to find out how much your organization stands to lose in case of a major failure.

Bottom line: risk reductions and high quality protection of a core asset - business continuity.

2. Save Time on a Routine Task

Checking that VOBs are functioning well takes a lot of time and effort:

• Study IBM's recommendations for checks
• Master checking tools and implement checks
• Running checks takes an hour or more.

Working with ClearCheck ensures that the VOBs are always checked to the highest industry standard, no matter how busy the administrator team is.

Bottom line: the administrator can focus on core tasks - improved productivity.

3. Can't you do it Yourself?

Over 2 years of research and development have gone into creating the current version of ClearCheck. Yes, administrators can write scripts, but they will lack crucial features, including:

• Actionable reports: ClearCheck reports clearly list problems and issues, unlike the unsorted, undifferentiated data returned by ClearCase checks
• Software updates: IBM constantly adds more checks and possibilities to its recommendations. Only a dedicated team can keep track and update the product accordingly.
• Performance: some checks require downtime. ClearCheck significantly reduces downtime and even allows the check to run online in certain configurations
• Problem solving: for each problem found, ClearCheck recommends a solution with link to IBM documentation.

Bottom line: less investment, better product - money saving.
