The Student Innovator Award went to a team from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute for a software configuration management (SCM) application called SteadySCM. Built on Caché, the application addresses issues such as preserving data integrity, data duplication, project management conflicts and support of stable base code that are typically found when a team of developers are working on a single project. The student team leveraged the advanced features of the Caché Studio development environment to create a solution that simultaneously minimizes development time while elevating software quality.
