CollabNet Acquires Subversion Cloud Hosting Provider Codesion

CollabNet® has acquired Codesion™, Inc. (formerly CVSDude), which provides an enterprise-grade Subversion hosting platform and serves more than 3,400 customers and 70,000 users in 90 countries. CollabNet founded the Subversion open source project in 2000 and remains the project’s principal sponsor. Codesion’s provisioning technology delivers Subversion, Git, and other applications as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, helping developers to code, connect, and deploy in the Cloud. The acquisition marks an aggressive move by CollabNet into cross-platform, Cloud-based developer services. The terms of the deal are confidential.

“CollabNet’s acquisition is a natural fit for Codesion and our customer community,” said Guy Marion, chief executive officer, Codesion. “Our users were seeking version control training and best practices around Agile development, which is now available from CollabNet’s Subversion developers and Certified Scrum Trainers. A new workgroup-centric version of TeamForge now also provides a free, ‘one click’ upgrade path to CollabNet’s award-winning Agile ALM platform.” Codesion has maintained 32 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, with past quarter recurring revenues increasing 50% year on year.

CollabNet’s Codesion hosting services are available in Team, Professional, and Enterprise editions. Codesion enables developers to securely host and procure Subversion in the Cloud, integrate it with Trac, Basecamp, TeamForge, and more, and deploy directly to Cloud hosting providers such as Joyent and Amazon. As customers’ businesses or projects grow, they can add users on demand or instantly upgrade to ScrumWorks Pro and TeamForge, all in the same secure hosted environment. CollabNet will also continue to offer these products on-premise.

CollabNet also announced the immediate availability of CollabNet TeamForge Project™, an on-demand multi-tenant version of CollabNet TeamForge.

“Using APIs from Codesion and oDesk, we’ve been able to seamlessly offer Codesion’s easy-to-use and highly secure platform to the hundreds of thousands of software contractors in our marketplace,” said Gary Swart, chief executive officer, oDesk. “Now, with CollabNet, professional teams working on oDesk will have an easy on-ramp to an additional set of Agile development tools, training, and services to securely code and collaborate in the Cloud.”

“Development and Test Cloud services are disrupting historical software development practices,” said Bill Portelli, chief executive officer, CollabNet. “Our acquisition of Codesion builds on a ten-year history of offering developer services in the Cloud and extends our leadership in this critical area. We now offer instant-on hosting for Subversion, with an open architecture and partner ecosystem that enables workgroups to get started quickly with basic code hosting, with a seamless path to scalable Agile software development for the enterprise.”

Best Practices for Enterprise SOA Deployment Bob Marcus, the leader for SOA and Distributed Virtualization standards at the Network Centric Operation Industry Consortium (NCOIC.org), discusses requirements and best practices for enterprise SOA Deployment, in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008. The session is based on Bob's experience working with large enterprises such as General Motors and Boeing. It also includes recommendations from a Session on 'SOA Deployment: Industry Best Practices' that Bob has organized for several US government agencies.

Designing Reusable Service Interfaces One of the challenges of SOA is the development of services, which are reusable. Such services can participate in several different processes and orchestrations. Experienced architects are aware that designing and implementing reusable services is much harder task than implementing services for single use. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Matjaz B. Juric discusses best practices for designing reusable service interfaces. We will discuss the possibilities provided by WSDL. We will address the versioning issue, which becomes crucial when changing/modifying services in order to make them more reusable.

Doing More With Less In the Downturn - Interview with Embarcadero's Philip Rathle Having affordable access to the right tools at the right time has never been more important, especially with today’s intense scrutiny on budgets and expectations to do more with less. Centered on the theme of recession storming, over fifty top level IT decision makers joined Saltmarch Media and Embarcadero Technologies with the objective of demystifying the changing IT environment and its impact on global business.

Business Transformation vs. SOA Transformation - Can I do Both? Corporations are transforming their business models in an attempt to increase revenue, operational efficiency and global competition by designing innovative business models and processes to be disruptive in their market space. In this keynote, recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, the Vice President of IBM's Global Solutions and Assets division says business leaders are looking for IT to provide and support the disruptive business models. However, the majority of IT's budget and resources are spent in maintenance leaving little time and resources for IT to be innovative and meet the business demands. In addition, many IT Corporations have adopted SOA in adhoc fashion and achieved some maturity in the technology. The key to aligning the IT objectives with the business objectives is a structured approach. Come hear about new ways to develop the required capabilities and prioritize the initiatives to create a Business and SOA transformation roadmap.

Brian Behlendorf on Open Source, Subversion 1.5, the rise of Globalization and Carbon Offsets Brian Behlendorf, Founder and former CTO of Collabnet, in a free-wheeling interview talks about the concept of an open source company in today's world, the indirect economic value being created by open source projects, the commercial drivers behind open source projects, the intense sharing culture promoted by social networking and collaboration tools, and his green responsibilities and how he carbon offsets his travel. Brian also discusses how application development needs to change to meet the needs of an increasingly globalized world, benefits of a virtualized infrastructure management system, factors that will hinder adoption of Subversion 1.5 and how Subversion stacks up against the competition.

Software + Services: Fundamental Shifts in Platform Computing We are at the cusp of a big industry change. The way software is delivered and monetized is undergoing a fundamental shift. The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.
