• #3: Who is CollabNet? For 15+ years CollabNet has pioneered collaborative and agility driven software development for globally distributed teams. Instead of struggling with disparate and disconnected processes and tools, we realized that organizations and distributed development teams could realize greater innovation through a set of modern and transparent collaborative methodologies on a Web-based platform, which we call CollabNet TeamForge.   Along with TeamForge, CollabNet provides services that focus on helping companies overcome their software engineering challenges by bringing the benefits of open, agile and collaborative development methods to its teams of developers – inside and outside of their company. As such, we have trained 14,000+ individuals on Agile Scrum, in Public and Private Classes, across the globe.  We have created best-practice development environments to facilitate the enterprise shift from On-premise and Packaged Software using Waterfall; to On-Demand and Cloud/SaaS/Mobile Applications using Agile. Our tool platform and services approach embrace automated or manual practices, local or distributed teams, tightly centralized or loosely connected client tools and flows, while at the same time provides unsurpassed organizational wide governance and visibility.   The business returns to our clients have been impressive, with enterprise rollouts achieving gains into the 10s of millions of dollars annually while achieving time-to-market and productivity gains of 10% - 70% depending upon the amount of i) agile approaches, and ii) collaboration employed by these organizations. These gains are just not possible with silo’d based tools and processes. Some of the best companies in the world, literally # 1 in their respective markets - FedEx, American Express, Walmart, HP, Capgemini, Deutsche Bank, the US DOD and many others - have standardized on CollabNet. CollabNet’s core product, TeamForge, is the innovation and collaboration backbone for these organizations. Due to our unique product differentiators and our deep experience in open source, agile development, and enterprise scale collaborative software development, CollabNet stands alone in being able to provide these results for global enterprises such as these and such as your company. Let us highlight the key components of the CollabNet solution capabilities that have enabled these companies to achieve these results, and how your company can do the same.
• #24: Footnotes: 1 - The history protection feature in Bitbucket and GitHub is limited to blocking history rewrites (even though they are often necessary). The TeamForge implementation is more flexible, as it ensures full history protection, while allowing history rewrites to occur. 2 - TeamForge uniquely offers an easy-to-use wizard that significantly simplifies the process of defining quality gates. 3 - TeamForge is the only platform that includes branch deletion/resurrection in audit logs. Branch resurrection feature itself is unique to TeamForge.
