Mahindra Satyam and CollabNet Partner to Bring Agile, Enterprise Cloud Development and DevOps to Global IT Customers

BRISBANE Calif. – June 12, 2013 – Mahindra Satyam, a leading global consulting and IT services provider, and CollabNet® (www.collab.net), the leader for Enterprise Cloud Development, today announced a strategic alliance agreement to jointly develop and deliver Enterprise Cloud Development, Agile and DevOps solutions in the cloud services space. Gartner predicts the total public cloud services market to cross $ 237 billion by 2017 (Gartner Forecast: Public Cloud Services, Worldwide, 2011-2017, 1Q13 Update). Mahindra Satyam and Tech Mahindra (referred to as Mahindra IT) will work together with CollabNet under this agreement.

CollabNet’s TeamForge ALM platform aligns with Mahindra IT’s vision to drive value for enterprise IT organizations via cloud-based approaches. Mahindra IT will resell CollabNet’s TeamForge® and CloudForge™ products and services, as-well-as its Agile training services throughout Asia.

“Software development and deployment moving to the cloud within larger IT organizations, provides a compelling case to have a technology partner who is a leading player in cloud based development initiatives,” said Hari T, Head – Business Value Enhancement Group, Mahindra Satyam. “CollabNet and its TeamForge platform provide the basis for Mahindra IT to offer a clear path to Agile and DevOps practices in the cloud – that is both open and flexible – yet meets the requirements of the most demanding of enterprises.”

Starting now, Mahindra IT and CollabNet will partner to bring cloud-based technical and service offerings to global IT organizations that are moving Agile, DevOps and other strategic initiatives to the cloud.

CollabNet’s TeamForge (http://www.collab.net/products/teamforge) is the industry’s most complete and open ALM platform for developing and deploying applications by distributed teams. Enterprise IT organizations use TeamForge to manage multiple technology processes, commercial and open source tools, and deployment applications through a flexible, hybrid model of both cloud and on-premise deployments. CollabNet’s global services team provides public and private training courses focused on accelerated Agile success, and it has more Certified Scrum Trainers than any organization in the industry.

“Partnering with a world-class technology leader like Mahindra IT will benefit both new and existing customers as we jointly develop technical and service offerings based on deep experience and knowledge of emerging enterprise software development trends,” said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO for CollabNet. “Mahindra shares our vision for Enterprise Cloud Development and how larger IT organizations can leverage the benefits of the cloud to develop and deploy quality software faster.”

TASKTOP’S DAVE WEST, NICOLE BRYAN AND IBM TO DISCUSS ENTERPRISE ALM AND AGILE BUSINESS VALUE AT IBM INNOVATE 2013

Tasktop and IBM continue to advance the business value of ALM and enterprise Agile

Who:

Dave West
Chief Product Officer
Tasktop Technologies
(www.tasktop.com)

West is a software industry thought leader (formerly with Forrester) and Chief Product Officer for Tasktop Technologies. At Tasktop he leads the strategic direction of the company’s Sync and Dev products that help organizations integrate ALM tools, data, people and processes.

Nicole Bryan
Director of Product Management
Tasktop Technologies
(www.tasktop.com)

Bryan has more than 17 years of experience in software and product development, focused primarily on bringing data visualization/infographics and human factors considerations to the forefront of Application Lifecycle Management. At Tasktop, she is focused on improving how software is created and delivered.

What:

Why You Need an ALM Data Model: Increasing Visibility and Transparency to Enable Business Agility
Speaker: Dave West, Tasktop
Location: LM-2090

For many organizations, the promise of ALM has been undermined by disconnected tools, processes, organizations and practices. But as organizations pivot business models and deliver faster, the need for ALM is much greater. Increased visibility and flow are the cornerstones to increased business agility. But for many organizations, adopting Agile at the team level has left enterprise ALM in a worse state than before, with teams adopting tools, practices and even process models for their own needs. So how do organizations increase the visibility of software delivery while software is being delivered by a diverse set of project teams, all following slightly different methods and using a variety of tools?

Practicing ALM in a Mixed Lifecycle Tool Environment
Speakers: Nicole Bryan, Tasktop; Gary Cernosek, IBM; Kevin Bauer, IBM
Location: LM-2207

IBM launched the Rational Jazz initiative with a mission for improving collaboration across the software and systems lifecycle. This initiative includes elements from community, architecture and product perspectives. The value of community development can be seen today on Jazz.net, where developers gain insight into products comprising the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM). But the Jazz initiative is larger than Rational itself. The Jazz platform is designed to be open and broader in the scope of capabilities and lifecycle tools. This session will show how the Jazz initiative has evolved to integrate lifecycle tools stemming from a wide range of sources.

Agile2013, the world’s largest conference for Agile teams, developers, managers and executives, will take place Aug. 5-9 in Nashville (http://agile2013.agilealliance.org ) at the beautiful Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center.

“With more than 1,100 program session submissions this year, and only 210 able to make the cut, we believe this year’s program is a very strong one,” said Kent McDonald, Agile2013 conference chair. “I want to personally thank everyone who submitted a submission proposal and all of the reviewers from the community that commented and provided feedback throughout the program development process. It is inspiring to see continued passion and momentum from our industry, and how the value and impact Agile-based methods are building for developers and their organizations.”

Each year the Agile Conference brings together impassioned technologists that are dedicated to solving real-world problems and delivering tangible value to their organizations through Agile software development. As Agile methods mature deeper into IT organizations, this year’s Agile2013 conference celebrates “getting Agile done,” and the committed practitioners that have led the industry to build better software faster. While Agile2013 offers the greatest breadth of learning and content of any industry event, this year’s program focuses on sharing experiences, ideas and creativity for “doing” Agile in a useful and meaningful way. The Agile2013 program is presented through multiple ‘tracks’ to provide participants with a focused area of interest while offering attendees a wide variety of topics to choose from. The biggest addition to this year’s conference is the new DevOps track.

In order to take business to the next level, the disconnect between ALM and technology innovation of mobile and cloud interfaces and Agile, Mobile and PaaS process change must be mended. During this session, attendees will gain a greater understanding of how integration is changing the face of ALM and how Agile practices and the DevOps movement is facilitating this change.

COLLABNET RECOGNIZED AS CHAMPION WITHIN INFO-TECH RESEARCH GROUP’S ALM VENDOR LANDSCAPE

TeamForge provides enterprise IT organizations with a flexible approach for managing traditional, Agile and cloud-based environments from a single platform

BRISBANE, Calif., Feb, 11, 2013, CollabNet® (www.collab.net), the global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM, has been recognized by Info-Tech Research Group as a Champion in Info-Tech Research Group’s ALM Vendor Landscape.

CollabNet’s TeamForge® is the industry’s most complete and open ALM platform for building and deploying vital applications by distributed teams. IT organizations can leverage a mix of technology processes and commercial or open source tools, through on-premise and privately hosted deployments, or as an offering within CloudForge™, the industry’s first enterprise-grade development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS).

“TeamForge provides a centralized ALM platform for managing complex and multi-faceted development environments, and this recognition by Info-Tech Research Group validates the collective work our team, customers and partners have contributed to make it an industry leading product,” said Lothar Schubert, senior director, product marketing for TeamForge at CollabNet. “TeamForge extends ALM functionality into Agile and cloud development strategies – two areas that enterprise IT organizations are quickly adopting and need help managing.”

Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape reports recognize outstanding vendors in the technology marketplace. Assessing vendors by the strength of their offering and their strategy for the enterprise, Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscapes pay tribute to the contribution of exceptional vendors in a particular category.

According to Info-Tech Research Group, CollabNet is “a strong all around enterprise player with compelling cloud options.” Info-Tech Research Group cited the following:

• TeamForge delivers much of the functionality associated with full-featured ALM suites demanded in enterprise environments, yet is suitably priced for the SME. Its SaaS option makes it even more attractive for implementation in smaller organizations.
• TeamForge has been fortified and is the primary ALM product for Agile and non-Agile software development, planning and delivery up to the enterprise-scale.
• CloudForge includes source code repository hosting and access to Agile tools. It enables app deployment to public and private clouds, helping enterprises develop their cloud environments.

In Info-Tech Research Group’s report, Champions are set apart from other vendors when “both the product and the vendor receive scores that are above the average score for the evaluated group.” The report notes that Champions “receive high scores for most evaluation criteria and offer excellent value.”

With four days remaining, Agile2013 organizers encourage software professionals to submit session proposals that fit with this year’s theme of – Practitioners Making Agile Work at (http://agile2013.agilealliance.org/speakers/).

“Agile-based methodologies continue to mature, and the Agile2013 conference provides a great opportunity for software practitioners to share experiences and learn from peers,” said Kent McDonald, Agile2013 conference chair. “I encourage everyone active in the community to submit a session proposal that discusses practical approaches to common software development challenges.”

The Agile2013 conference will be held Aug. 5-9, 2013 in Nashville, Tenn. (http://agile2013.agilealliance.org/). This year’s conference celebrates “Getting Agile Done,” and the committed practitioners that have led the industry to build better software faster. It offers the greatest breadth of learning and content of any industry event, and this year’s program will focus on sharing experiences, ideas and creativity for “doing” Agile in useful and meaningful ways. Agile2013 is where software practitioners learn from those who have achieved success with Agile and share their own experiences getting things completed with Agile.

This year the conference also includes a new DevOps track that will focus on the deployment of software and the coordination of development and IT operations teams as a means of streamlining the entire software build and release lifecycle.
