Trusted Systems Laboratories selects AMS REALTIME to manage development of new encryption and security software

Enterprise project management suite running on the Trusted SolarisÔ Operating Environment will support rapid growth of Internet security startup

REDLANDS, CA, SEPTEMBER 19, 2000 - Advanced Management Solutions, a market leader in solutions for enterprise-wide project and resource management, has announced that Trusted Systems Laboratories has selected the AMS REALTIME suite to help manage the development of its high assurance enterprise security products.

Trusted Systems Laboratories, founded in June 2000, provides a range of commercial solutions to address vital security needs in the emerging B2B e-commerce marketplace, including trustworthy Web hosting, application hosting, and network architecture. Their first products are, Trusted Web Server, which provides stronger security than currently offered by other Web servers, and Trusted Gateway, which provides highly secure connectivity over diverse networks.

As a business, Trusted Systems Laboratories faces a number of key challenges. It needs to develop a number of complex products in parallel and deliver them to the market in the fastest time possible. As a start-up, Trusted Systems Laboratories also has limited numbers of staff to work on this mix of projects.

Trusted Systems Laboratories wanted a project management solution that would help manage their portfolio of development projects, while also helping to optimise their use of resources. It was also highly desirable that the solution was able to run on Trusted Systems Laboratories’ strategic choice of operating system, Trusted SolarisÔ from Sun Microsystems. The Trusted Solaris Operating Environment provides proven security that is robust, flexible and completely interoperable with existing customer environments.

All development staff and management within Trusted Systems Laboratories will use AMS REALTIME. Rance DeLong, President and Chief Operating Officer with Trusted Systems Laboratories commented, "AMS REALTIME will be invaluable to give us visibility of the status of all our development projects. We will be able to anticipate and react to changes in our business environment, whether caused by new priorities, additional staffing, project delays, addition of new projects, or changing project scope."
