"Development teams-especially distributed teams-need to tie together conversations with basic team planning solutions in order to collaborate without killing development flow," stated Thomas Murphy, research director with Gartner. "We expect a continued growth in solutions that are delivered via cloud infrastructure and integrated with existing development assets and repositories."
Assembla-hosted Perforce on Demand puts developers to work quickly. Users can get a new depot in seconds, with triple-redundant backup. They can immediately invite other colleagues by email. There is no need to wait for an administrator to authorize or configure repositories or users.
The offering makes cloud-based teams more productive and collaborative. An activity stream shows code commits and user activities. Code review and social coding features help distributed teams test, review and merge code into frequent releases. Activity streams, code reviews, and merge requests can help Agile teams release improvements continuously.
"Assembla's track record of hosting repositories and providing task management and collaboration tools makes it a good fit to deliver Perforce version management," said Randy DeFauw, technical marketing manager for Perforce Software. "With Perforce and Assembla, small teams get powerful version management tightly integrated with an Agile planning board and activity streams."
"We are proud that Perforce selected Assembla as its partner to offer an on-demand version of its industry-leading version management technology," said Andy Singleton, CEO and Founder of Assembla. "We are also very excited to offer new capabilities that go beyond our Subversion and Git offerings. We think our customers will be impressed with Perforce's outstanding version control and merge capabilities, and with its visual 'streams' that can automatically merge, build and test code from various contributors. And Perforce is clearly the version management system of choice for game designers and others who need to handle terabytes of image, video and other non-code files."
