Press Release
CollabNet® partners with Ivis™ Technologies to meet the needs of managers of globally distributed projects
Partnership provides project schedule and process compliance improvements to the CollabNet development platform
BRISBANE, Calif., March 22, 2007 — CollabNet, a leading provider of on-demand collaborative software development solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Ivis Technologies to deliver improved project scheduling and process compliance to its global network of developers. By integrating Ivis xProcess™ with CollabNet Enterprise Edition, project managers can more accurately manage and optimize time to market in their globally distributed software development projects.
CollabNet Enterprise Edition is a Subversion®-based collaborative software development solution that helps organizations gain greater control of their software development assets as they progress through the application lifecycle. When paired with xProcess (which is also Subversion-based), teams can collaboratively define the totality of work remaining in a project phase, and then execute on that work using customizable process templates. Process templates are available for a wide variety of contemporary development processes.
“The collaborative nature of CollabNet's business coupled with its history of leadership in distributed development with Subversion made the partnership a strategic fit,” said Christopher Lank, CEO and President at Ivis Technologies. “With xProcess and CollabNet Enterprise Edition together, teams can now apply business-specific process patterns, improve real-time visibility of status and forecasts, support business-critical decisions and maximize project success rate throughout the organization.”
By partnering with Ivis, CollabNet now offers its customers the ability to create and manage project schedules that span the entire project lifecycle, from upfront requirements to late breaking defects and customer enhancements. By storing everything in CollabNet's underlying Subversion repository, all project activities are tracked and remain auditable throughout the project lifecycle. Furthermore, by applying specific xProcess compliance patterns, the combined solution can also help address compliance requirements, such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPPA and HEPA.

“Our customers want the flexibility and agility to handle the increasing demands on distributed software teams, and we address customer needs through quality solutions and tools in an open development environment,” said Chris Clarke, senior director of solution architecture at CollabNet. “Extending the Ivis xProcess solution to the CollabNet Platform enables software project managers to tightly manage complex software lifecycles.”
