Collaboration Center for Software Development: speeDEV

Wouldn't it be nice to have a Web-based environment where all participants in a software project could cooperate, manage project requirements, fix and track issues, establish test cases, assign tasks, and manage the entire software project from start to finish? Well, speeDEV, a San Jose, Calif.-based company provides such a solution.

The company's product is a 100% Web-based, single-interface, collaboration center with several seemlessly integrated enterprise-class applications. It is based on two maxims of collaborative software projects: Collaboration without process is chaos, and process without automation is unrealistic.

And speeDEV has developed its highly specialized ProcessFlow Automation System for software processes. It offers templates encapsulating best practices for various project types. Its built-in intelligent request routing, automatic task assignment and notification, and role-based workflow bring a velocity to projects and usher in an unparalleled level of efficiency. Based on the project manager's definition of the development process, speeDEV moves the project along in a collaborative fashion without constant supervision.

The product is appropriate for small—three- to five-member—teams to large multilocation teams. It doesn't replace project scheduling or other development tools. It's applicable to any type of software project independent of hardware, OS, programming language, technology, or application domain. And speeDEV uses the industry-standard SSL encryption for security, and user identification and passwords for access control.

The speeDEV solution was built by people who have firsthand experience with the shortcomings of traditional solutions, particularly while delivering time-critical solutions to Fortune 50 clients. So these individuals put their heads together and created a tried, tested, industrial-strength solution.

"It was time someone injected some sanity and predictability into this sometimes black art of software development," says Sky Basu, speeDEV CEO.

You can obtain speeDEV as an ASP service, as licensed software, or as a hosted service. For corporate IT and professional service companies, a cobranded licensed version can be deployed behind the company firewall and outsourced to third parties through a hosted service or an ASP model.
