Increase Developer Productivity
----------------------------------------

If a tool is difficult to use, or causes delays and frustration to developers, it is less likely to be used to any great effect. Direct integration with your development tools enables developers to access the full power of team development features from within a familiar environment. Team Coherence integrates directly with Visual Studio, Visual Studio .NET, Delphi, C++ Builder and many other development tools and editors.

Team Coherence also provides an extensive feature set designed to save time and money through reliable source code control. It enables development teams to automatically protect and track their most valuable source code, documentation, binaries, and all other file types as they change throughout the software life cycle.

Improve Software Quality
--------------------------------

Versioning features, such as labels, provide snapshots of a project for the quick retrieval of any previous version in the software life cycle. Support for promotion levels allows you to say with certainty that all files have been through the various development and testing stages by the time they are released to end users.

The ability to share files across projects promotes the reuse of code and components across projects and simplify code maintenance by propagating changes across all shared whenever a file is updated.

Support for both Parallel and Serial development modes, or a combination of both, allows you to decide which methodology suits you best, not the other way around.

ProLibra
$39 - Sharpeware Ltd

ProLibra is a program that keeps teams in control of their documents, without the need for complex databases or maintenance.
ProLibra users can organise their documents using information already stored in those documents - and combine this with templates based on common approaches. Templates are included for established methods such as Prince 2 and ISO9001.
Using a simple and customisable drag and drop interface, users can choose different views to work on documents. Views include Stages and deliverables; People; Categories, Dates and a traditional Folder view. And because all information is stored in the documents themselves, its always accurate - even when documents are copied or moved.
When a number of users work together on the same documents, ProLibra will highlight changes automatically - even when made by users without ProLibra installed. With some types of documents (Microsoft Word, for example) ProLibra will even show who's currently working on what.

Afinion Smart Project Server
$600 - Afinion AG

Project database for MS Project with access rights and project groups. Easy user management. Ideal for departments and branch offices. Access control by Windows-login. Simple installation. Best for small groups and departments. Rights can be transferred over several servers. So protection is handled for all departments. Archive function and possibility to move projects inside the server from one project group to another. Projects may be opened with
read/write or read only permission using Microsoft Project Standard or Professional. Users which only need read permission can use Afinion Project-Viewer to view projects and print the Gantt charts on up to A0 size sheets. Afinion Smart Project Server can be used as a reliable archive as well. Every project can be set to archive status. These projects can then still be opened as read only. If required your administrators can reset their status to active at any time. Projects stored in the Afinion Smart Project Server database can only be deleted by an administrator, they therefore cannot be deleted accidentally. Access permissions are administered using a three level model: Project Groups, User Groups and Users. User Groups have read only, read/write or no access to Project Groups. Users can belong to several user groups whereas projects can belong to one Project Group only. All assignments can be modified later if needed. Using Afinion Smart Project Server Enterprise Edition you can even create project groups covering every department and site, so that users in different companies and countries can access your projects. Afinion Smart Project Server does not require a standard installation. All functions are readily available in the front end (Afinion Project-Viewer) supplied together with the Afinion Smart Project Server. You will, however, need to set up your SQL Server or MSDE accordingly. An Add-In to Microsoft Project allows you to directly open, edit and save projects stored in the SQL database.
