Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Selects CollabNet for Open Software Development Framework

Monday, Nov 03, 2008

At the DoD Open Technology Conference, CollabNet today announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), a combat support agency for the Department of Defense, selected CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise and CollabNet CUBiT to serve as the foundation for its internal software development community -- DISA FORGE -- where local and geographically distributed members jointly participate in the design, build and test processes of Defense Department software projects.

DISA provides real-time information technology and communications support to the president, vice president, secretary of defense, the military services, and all combatant commands. Supporting these demands requires adaptable software development solutions for a highly distributed DISA development team. Working with Carahsoft Technology Corp., the industry's leading government IT solutions provider and CollabNet reseller, DISA selected CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise as the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) framework to securely access and manage the source code, issues, releases, documents, discussion forums, wikis, reports, and other artifacts related to their projects. Additionally, CollabNet CUBiT was selected as the virtual private cloud management solution for teams to access build and test environments on-demand, from a pool of internally managed, secure computing resources. CollabNet delivers this strategic software development framework as a DISA Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for low cost and ease of deployment.
