Features IBM Rational Team Concert is a powerful tool that is designed to be used in the software development area. But its key advantages are not in simple capabilities which can be found in a lot of other similar instruments. These advantages are based on collaboration mechanisms and the possibility to organize the effective work of numerous developers grouped into teams and sub-teams. It brings team awareness to all project members about current project status, a unified security model supported by roles and users, dashboards, and reporting capabilities. The tool can not be called a new one because it's developed by the Rational Software brand of IBM and was first released in 2008.

Additionally, there's a separate ISPF client to support developers in z/OS, COBOL, and PL/1 using TSO/ISPF but we will not be concentrated…

Simulink from The MathWorks, Inc. (an American privately held corporation that specializes in mathematical computing software) is graphical programming software for building models, simulations, and analyses for complex dynamical systems. It offers tight integration with the rest of the MATLAB environment. The tool can be very useful in automatic control and digital signal processing for multidomain simulation and Model-Based Design.
