Because IBM Rational Software produces such a strong toolset, ABS made a well-thought-out decision to make the IBM Rational Brand a mainstay product set to support.
ABS has achieved the highly coveted IBM Gold Business Partner status that indicates a commitment to maintaining the highest competency levels needed to sell as well as provide training, consulting and support for the IBM Rational Products. A Better Solution will always make the highest effort to stay ahead of the game and at all times be well-trained in the IBM Rational toolset.
"A Better Solution, Inc. has focused exclusively on the Rational brand since their beginning in 1997 and is truly a Rational brand specialist. They have always provided consultants with the deepest skill and experience levels and have maintained a superior client track record. ABS has proven their ability to quickly assess complex client installations and produce a plan that leads to a successful software rollout, migration, customization or policy modification. They provide excellent mentoring services that lead to the Best Practice use of tools by our clients.
They are also skilled at identifying new customer opportunities and are quickly developing a
reputation for helping to facilitate and implement significant to large software solutions with complex client
installations. I do not hesitate to recommend them for professional services and training for
all things Rational.

HCL Software has a strong DevOps presence developed by both acquiring/extending products like ClearCase to create VersionVault and developing their own DevOps products into their own HCL Software DevOps suite. This clear and obvious synergy made it an easy decision for ABS and HCL to form partnership that provides benefits to both of our clients.

The portfolio offers robust products for organizations in complex, regulated industries to advance their DevOps practices with value stream management, continuous delivery, automated testing, and security scanning capabilities.
