Products in the Baltic platform include IBM Rational BuildForge 7, technology IBM acquired in May when it bought BuildForge.
The software helps developers automate their software development process.
The Baltic release also includes IBM Rational ClearQuest 7, which verifies and tracks changes in the software development process, and IBM Rational ClearCase 7, which manages and controls software development assets.
IBM Rational Portfolio Manager 7 is a dashboard for monitoring the software development process, and IBM Rational RequisitePro 7 enables developers to track, manage and document requirements, Nackman said.
In addition, integration between IBM Rational BuildForge 7 and IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7 with Rational ClearQuest enables development teams to work together better throughout the delivery life cycle, from tracking requirements to building and releasing software to managing testing processes to deploying the final product, Nackman said.
"We have been doing work to integrate across the Rational and Tivoli product lines to foster tracking and auditing the evolution of assets in production," Nackman said.
"The result is better and faster build and production cycle time."
