rPath, CollabNet Streamline and Automate Entire Application Delivery Cycle

rPath and CollabNet joined to bridge the gap between development and operations. Both companies will together deliver an integrated and automated solution for continuous delivery of applications and application changes, from development through operations.

Also, included in the deal are joint sales and marketing efforts as well as integration between rBuilder, the rPath system automation platform, and CollabNet TeamForge, the Agile (News - Alert) application lifecycle management solution for distributed development teams.

CollabNet notes that its CollabNet TeamForge platform brings an integrated suite of Web-based release planning, source code management (SCM), issue tracking, and collaboration tools to rPath’s deployment and IT operations users.

TeamForge effectively centralizes management of users, projects, processes and assets, to significantly cut down costs, enhance productivity and improve project visibility. The solution is public and private-cloud enabled and can support multiple development methodologies in a single interface across all development projects, teams and environments.

“This partnership is driven by the need for speed in application deployment and change,” said Jake Sorofman, chief marketing officer for rPath, in a press release. “Today, business agility is constrained by process and automation gaps standing between development and operations groups. This partnership is focused on enabling enterprises to take down these walls by dramatically improving collaboration, coordination and automation in the release process.”

“Our partnership with rPath optimizes the last leg of the development lifecycle, moving the application from development through operations, to get IT services delivered as rapidly as possible,” said Jim Ensell, senior vice president at CollabNet, in a statement. “The iterative, agile development approach that we encourage and support assures that the end-product meets the current business need and brings stakeholders from across the entire lifecycle together, from business analysts to developers to QA managers to IT operations more regularly and collaboratively than ever before.”

CollabNet and rPath executives will discuss the advantages of closing the gap between development and operations in an upcoming Webinar, “Dev Through Ops Agility: Automation Drives Continuous Delivery.”
