Cloud Computing: ScrumWorks Agile Widgetry Goes SaaS

Collabnet has hoisted its ScrumWorks Pro Agile project management tool into its Codesion public cloud development platform and made it on-demand.

It says developers can now "code, connect and deploy" software on an enterprise-grade platform backed by 24/7 support, uptime SLAs and integrations with the usual development solutions and both public and private cloud production environments.

Figure Amazon, Google App Engine, Force.com and Joyent…

CollabNet supplies ScrumWorks for use on-prem but the company’s cloud proposition is richer. Users also get tools like Apache Subversion, Git, Trac, Bugzilla and CollabNet’s Agile ALM platform TeamForge plus the cloud’s backup, visibility, tracking and provisioning.

It’ll run $26 a month per development.

Before ScrumWork went cloud, Codesion had added upwards of 1,500 customers in the past 12 months, reflecting the increasing number of companies shifting development and IT operations to the cloud. The newcomers give it about 3,800 customers altogether.

ScrumWorks Pro is used by more than 100,000 developers worldwide through on-premise installations. With the stuff in the cloud, there’s none of the usual software installations or hardware upgrades. Collabnet says it’s hosted in SAS-70 data center and protected with secure backup and disaster recovery systems. It’s supposed to improve productivity and reduce costs.
