Accelerate software delivery, from idea to application.
With CollabNet TeamForge, you can accelerate software delivery, from idea to code, build and test, to application release. Customers achieve up to 50% and more improvements in delivery times, while reducing cost by 80%. TeamForge does this by realizing efficiencies, automating governance, and engaging all stakeholders, from workgroups to enterprises and beyond.
With CollabNet Connect, agility and governance is no longer an either/or proposition. CollabNet Connect™ with TeamForge revolutionizes enterprise software delivery by enabling application teams and IT operations to industrialize and govern delivery processes across diverse and ever-changing technology landscapes; on-premises or in the cloud. External ALM tools such as Git, JIRA or HP Quality Center become “first class citizens” to native TeamForge tools or deeply integrated tools like Eclipse desktop, Visual Studio or Outlook client.
CollabNet, the founder of the Subversion open source project, is also now the first major ALM vendor to provide a comprehensive platform to govern and secure development with the Git DVCM tool. Enterprises can take advantage of the speed and flexibility provided by the Git tool without compromising corporate standards for compliance, security or management efficiency.
TeamForge provides unprecedented scalability across distributed and large enterprise development teams; on-premises and in the cloud. The latest TeamForge release continues to push the envelope for enterprise ALM, with:
Powerful search infrastructure across federated ALM landscapes
Radically simplified installation of core components
Enhanced reporting datamart for site administrators
Infrastructure upgrades of Tomcat, Jboss, Postgres
TeamForge 6.1 codifies Agile software development and organizational management practices that Fortune 1000 companies have implemented over the past decade. This new release enables the adoption of Agile methods across large-scale enterprises, provides resources that enable social coding, and offers enterprise-grade tools and security.

Subversion Replication, for Rapid File Access from Anywhere
With TeamForge’s Subversion replication management capabilities, developers and project managers can overcomes enterprise WAN networking inefficiencies to deliver LAN-like performance. Users can check out large Subversion binaries and code in minutes rather than hours at distributed locations around the world. Also, teams are now better positioned to perform resource-intensive ALM functions such as continuous build.
With TeamForge, Project teams can locally install CollabNet Subversion Edge and replicate repositories from the master TeamForge Subversion server with just a few clicks. Due to the distributed architecture of TeamForge’s Subversion replication capabilities, you also can implement scenarios for high availability, fault tolerance and load balancing. All along you maintain a central point of truth for governance and audit across all of the Subversion SCM repositories in the enterprise.
Reporting & Metrics Framework, for More Transparency
CollabNet TeamForge v6.1 introduces a new data-mart concept for enterprise reporting. Key metrics and data fields are provisioned for flexible and fast information access. CollabNet provides pre-built sets of metrics and reports out of the box, and announced plans to continue shipping new content based on best practices. Optionally, the data-mart is also openly accessible by 3rd party reporting tools. What’s more, release 6.1 also features SQL based -hoc query capabilities for experts, accessible directly within TeamForge itself.
Project Microsites, to Build Communities across Products and Business Lines
TeamForge v6.1 uniquely enables organizations to map their software projects and IT assets to their business and product lines as “micro sites”, driving IP reuse and providing management and teams with cross-organization insight. Companies can organize their projects in flexible hierarchies, with automatic inheritance of permissions and roles and re-use of global project templates. These micro-sites can be instantly provisioned for new development projects, eliminating traditional manual processes for on-boarding of team members and codifying rules for software delivery. Permissions, roles, and templates are controlled centrally, across projects and programs, ensuring enterprise-wide security and process compliance.
Richer Wikis and other features, for Better Information Sharing and Knowledge Discovery
Expanded wiki capabilities now radically ease information sharing and knowledge discovery across the enterprise. TeamForge v6.1 introduces community-built, proven widgets and features. For example, you will find rich editors with pre-built plugins for counters, content tables or content search.
Furthermore, discussions forums have been enhanced, providing support for ‘rich text’ options, and enabling user defined reply behaviors. Amongst several other features, also RSS feeds are now supported.
Microsoft Outlook Desktop, to Engage More Enterprise Stakeholders
With the new ‘CollabNet Desktop - Microsoft Outlook Edition’ functionality (provided separately as an integration kit), project managers now can access TeamForge projects, documents and tracker details, directly from within their familiar Microsoft Outlook client. Information also is readily actionable. For example, with one click you can generate tracker artifacts based on customer e-mails, without the need to cut & paste or switch working context. The new desktop functionality also integrates with other Outlook features such as the calendar function.
Advanced Role Management, for Ironclad Security
With the introduction of site wide roles, global project roles and project groups, you now can customize user permissions to great detail, while further centralizing role management. Additionally, through the introduction of multi-level project hierarchies with role inheritance, sub-projects are added with a click of a button, ready-to-go with full role based security. For example, a sub-project ‘smart phones’ added under the ‘handheld devices’ node may automatically inherit respective roles and users. That simplified management and ensures good governance and control.
