Team Tools Help Developers Upgrade Mission-Critical Aviation Software

A client request to update and add features to a key software product called the Staff Utilization Management System (SUMS), which is used to manage air traffic control staffing, led Airways New Zealand to reconsider the tools used in its development shop. The result was that it moved most of its development efforts to Microsoft® .NET technologies. The company adopted Microsoft Visual Studio® 2005 and used Visual Studio Team System to upgrade and enhance its SUMS software.
