The new version strengthens ALM features by leveraging tools used throughout the development lifecycle (IDEs such as Eclipse, software configuration management, testing platforms), integrating them more closely across development sites and making them available to any internal or external project member. Additionally, Web 2.0 features and structured collaboration tools A collaboration tool is something that helps people collaborate. The term is often used to mean collaborative software, but collaboration tools were being used before computers existed, a piece of paper can for example can be used as collaboration tool.  such as email, discussion forums and Wikis See wiki.  have been adapted for the software development process.

CollabNet continues to drive innovation and deliver new solutions that are changing the way software is being developed today. Traditional LAN-based solutions are no longer appropriate for companies that want to compete effectively, and CollabNet's unique approach of combining software development tools with collaboration tools and project content editing tools into one integrated platform allows large organizations to reduce the costs of managing remote development sites, while improving and leveraging communication and collaboration between all software engineering resources.

"We are seen as the market leader and are raising the bar by delivering the industry's leading development platforms for distributed software development. Our solutions help organizations transform from a silo-based approach to an open and collaborative development environment while reducing development infrastructure costs by up to 50 percent," said Bill Portelli, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of CollabNet. "Companies that have implemented CollabNet have unlocked the benefits of collaboration across hundreds of projects, creating networked development communities where they can share ideas, knowledge and resources."

New knowledge sharing and Application Lifecycle Management The administration and control of an application from inception to its demise. It embraces requirements management, system design, software development and configuration management and implies an integrated set of tools for developing and controlling the project.  (ALM) features in CollabNet Enterprise Edition 5.0 include:

* ALM templates: CEE 5.0 includes an enhanced version of the CollabNet Baseline Process template which allows project teams to rapidly start with ALM. Project managers can use the configurable template as a blueprint for artifact A distortion in an image or sound caused by a limitation or malfunction in the hardware or software. Artifacts may or may not be easily detectable. Under intense inspection, one might find artifacts all the time, but a few pixels out of balance or a few milliseconds of abnormal sound  lifecycle management and customize it to fit their development process.

* Subversion reporting: Subversion code management system reporting capabilities bring visibility into development activities on a specific project or a group of projects. Members and managers track and report on user transactions such as the number of code check-out, as well as commits and imports done over a period of time at the project level or at the platform level. It highlights the most active projects, the developers that contribute the most to any given project, and the most frequently downloaded code components.

* Project-level Wiki: Enables members to collaborate on project content very easily while respecting roles and permission assigned to users. Combining Wikis with security at the project level is critical to projects utilizing external resources such as contractors, customers, or offshore teams.

* Online discussion services: Integrated communication capabilities such as e-mail, mailing lists An automated e-mail system on the Internet, which is maintained by subject matter. There are thousands of such lists that reach millions of individuals and businesses. New users generally subscribe by sending an e-mail with the word "subscribe" in it and subsequently receive all new  and discussion forums enable teams to leverage online communication tools. It brings visibility through project-level discussion forums and e-mail exchanges.

* Web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term.  APIs: API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol.  extension improves the integration of CollabNet with other solutions at the administration level. This supports operations for project management, such as project creation, role and permission control and the mechanisms of user membership administration and role associations.

CollabNet Enterprise Edition 5.0 is fully compatible with CollabNet's other software development lifecycle tools including CollabNet Subversion, CollabNet CUBiT cu·bit

 and the CollabNet Desktop for Eclipse which brings all of CollabNet's products into the Eclipse environment. Enterprises and software developers can preview the platform on the CollabNet user community (http://open.collab.net). Live demos of CEE 5.0 in action are available every Tuesday and as replays on the CollabNet Web site at http://www.collab.net/livedemo

"CollabNet Enterprise Edition 5.0 combined with the CollabNet Desktop for Eclipse completely redefines the way development organizations should think about integrating and simplifying the set of tools they currently use," says Richard Murray Richard Murray is the chairman Charlton Athletic Football Club. He is highly respected by most of the Charlton supporters and it is agreed that he has been a key to the football club's relative success over the last decade. , vice president of engineering at CollabNet. "We have the only development platform on the market that brings directly to the developer desktop, in its most familiar environment, the artifact management tools needed to contribute to the ALM process and the collaboration capabilities required for rapid innovation."

CollabNet Enterprise Edition is one of two leading software development platforms owned by CollabNet. Early this year, the company acquired SourceForge Enterprise Edition (SFEE SFEE Steady Flow Energy Equation ). Through CEE and SFEE, CollabNet supports more than 350 enterprise customers with over 1.2 million users in dozens of countries worldwide. Both products are continually supported and enhanced over time.
