CollabNet Codesion Cloud Unit Gains Momentum

Online, March 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - CollabNet®, the leader in Agile development in the Cloud, announced today the general availability of CollabNet TeamForge Project™, an integrated suite of Web-based development and collaboration tools for Agile software development. The general availability release follows a four-month beta test by more than 100 organizations.

TeamForge Project is a component of CollabNet's Codesion™ Professional Edition product, a secure, instant-on developer cloud that enables developers to instantly provision Subversion, Git, and other code repositories, as well as bug tracking, Agile management, and full application lifecycle management capabilities. CollabNet also announced today that more than 200 customers have chosen Codesion Professional Edition since the product's January 2010 general availability release.

"We sought out a scalable and extremely reliable hosted source code management platform that provided easy team collaboration and management of our distributed development projects," said Todd McKinnon, chief executive officer, Okta, a cloud application management services company. "We found our solution in Codesion, not only for its stellar reputation in the market, but also due to its support for both Subversion and Git."

A live CollabNet TeamForge Project demonstration is scheduled for March 8, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time. Free registration is available at http://info.codesion.com/demo.html. Thirty-day free trials of TeamForge Project are also available on the company's website.

Codesion Professional Edition with CollabNet TeamForge Project is ideal for workgroups and for high-growth emerging enterprises performing mission-critical software development. As teams scale across multiple locations, develop custom workflows and Agile methods, share IP assets, and require visibility into project artifacts or coworkers' activities, TeamForge Project provides lifecycle management that is integrated across products and services.

TeamForge Project is fully managed and accessible from inside or outside the firewall. It features deep Subversion integration, enterprise-grade security, including unified role-based access control (RBAC), and integration with the Codesion platform's authentication, redundancy, and backup capabilities. Multiple TeamForge Projects may now be added to each Codesion Professional Edition account, support is now provided for CollabNet Desktop, and the product now has a 99.9% uptime SLA with guaranteed four-hour response.

"There are few mature Cloud-based solutions for collaborative software development that offer enterprise-grade security, functionality, and support in a Web-based model optimized for the diverse needs of rapid-growth emerging enterprises," said Guy Marion, general manager and vice president, Codesion Cloud Services, CollabNet. "Today, TeamForge Project and Codesion Professional Edition uniquely enable organizations to dramatically reduce their startup costs and time to market while expanding their global operations."

Pricing for Codesion Professional Edition, including CollabNet TeamForge Project, starts at $99/month for a five-user Starter Pack and $225/month for a 10-user Starter Pack.
