About the presentation:
"Organizations spend millions of dollars in creating and maintaining several tools that help the product development process. Eventually when all the tools need to be integrated, we run into the problems of obsolete/old technologies, integration problems, licencing issues, knowledge management and many others. In this presentation, we will see several challenges in the product development process and see how IBM's Rational Team Concert helps organizations."
