"Globalization, outsourcing, and the desire to leverage open source technologies have made distributed software development teams a reality," said Bill Portelli, President and CEO of CollabNet. "It is now harder for enterprises to deliver high quality software projects on time and on budget. With the on demand model, our enterprise customers can scale and improve the efficiency of their development process with little cost and effort as compared to traditional LAN based development tools and delivery models. We've been securely offering on demand solutions to large enterprises for years now and have proven the model works for large development teams with thousands of users."

CollabNet Subversion On Demand is the most complete, Subversion-related, enterprise offering delivered in the on demand model or as a Web-based, managed service. The solution provides distributed development teams with an easy-to-access, low-cost, version control system that can quickly scale for enterprise-wide adoption. CollabNet Subversion On Demand reduces the security risks of unmanaged Subversion(TM) adoption and lowers the cost of managing large deployments by offering enterprise-class security, maintenance and operational services.

Key features of Subversion On Demand include:

• Enhanced Subversion(TM) capabilities including a Web-based user administration module, rather than administration performed at the command line
• Project workspace, communication and collaboration tools specifically built for development teams that complement stand-alone Subversion(TM)
• An on-demand delivery model that lowers the cost and increases the speed of Subversion(TM) deployments

Drawing upon years of experience managing Subversion-based systems for thousands of enterprise users, CollabNet also offers a unique set of enterprise-class training, support and consulting services that are available with both CollabNet Subversion On Demand and Subversion deployed as a stand-alone system.

Based on their specific needs, customers can chose from three levels of support services, silver, gold and platinum. Consulting services include migration services to consolidate source code repositories on Subversion and a Quickstart program to help teams transition from a location-centric to a distributed development environment.

"Subversion is a powerful open source version control system that is rapidly becoming a standard, said Christophe Job, vice president of Development, Oracle Fusion Middleware. "We've recently released a Subversion extension for Oracle JDeveloper and we're pleased to see CollabNet expand its solutions and services to provide enterprise-level support for Subversion. This will further the adoption of Subversion as an enterprise-ready solution within the Oracle installed base." CollabNet is member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.

CollabNet is the main corporate sponsor of the Subversion(TM) open source project and was the first company to integrate it into a complete enterprise solution for distributed software development. Subversion(TM) is available as a stand-alone version control solution http://subversion.tigris.org/ and has been integrated into CollabNet Enterprise Edition.

CollabNet Enterprise Edition, a solution for distributed software development, integrates tools for software development, project management, knowledge management, and communication management in an on-demand Web-based software development environment. Subversion(TM) won the Jolt Product Excellence Award in 2005 for the industry's best change and configuration management tool.

"In order to make global software development effective and to maintain competitive advantage, organizations must put new tools and processes in place that facilitate effective and secure collaboration, said Melinda Carol-Ballou, program manager application life cycle management at IDC. "We also see companies beginning to leverage open source expertise and software to offer new commercial services and products that allow enterprises to augment and extend popular open source tools for global development, which bodes well for users and the future of open source."
