Cradle Gateway
The Cradle Gateway will allow data in these sources to be cross referenced to any items in a Cradle database, and, in effect, will allow Cradle data to be linked into any number of data sources held in any number of files or databases for these other tools.
We have had some expressions of interest from some customers about this facility. We are interested to collate a list of organisations who can allocate engineering time during January 2010 to be a Beta tester of this new module. This will mean that you will receive a Beta test copy of Cradle-6.2 including the Cradle Gateway and you will be asked to exercise the Cradle Gateway in relation to one or more of the above tools.
We will be particularly interested to receive expressions of interest from organisations who currently use one or more of DOORS, RequisitePro, Rhapsody, Artisan or Quality Center.
If you are interested in being a Beta tester for Cradle Gateway, please send us an e-mail by clicking here.

3SL is pleased to announce that our next Cradle release, Cradle-6.2, will support XML.
The combination of these capabilities will mean that:
We will continue to develop and extend these capabilities in future Cradle releases.
These initial capabilities, and their future developments, are a substantial increase in the data exchange facilities between Cradle and other tools and databases. Together with our involvement in the open standards community, this demonstrates 3SL’s long term commitment to vendor-neutral data exchange and storage mechanisms.
3SL was the first tool vendor to support AP233. Now, we are the first vendor to support not only a specific XML schema based format, but to also provide mechanisms that you, the end user, can control to move data in any XML based format into Cradle and to get data out from Cradle into any format.
3SL 'Contact Us Live' will be available soon. Testing of the new system is progressing well and we are finalising the internal systems we will be implementing to offer the best level of service and support to our customers and evaluators.
