PHASE 2 Introduces New Source Control Tool For Developers

PHASE 2 International announced recently the availability of the newest in its arsenal of SaaS (software as a service) offerings for companies: Team Foundation Server. Designed to manage a source code repository for multi-developer projects built with Microsoft's Visual Studio, the new Hosted Team Foundation Server source code control tool makes managing code for those projects more efficient, whether development team members are across the hall or across the globe. Available now, the new PHASE 2 Hosted Team Foundation Server makes management affordable for large and small projects, with pricing from just $129/month—with no contracts, no setup fees and no user minimum.

"Hosted Team Foundation Server grew out of a need we saw from within our existing client base—but that extends well beyond. It's just not unusual today to have developers in New York, San Francisco and Mumbai all working on the same project," said Kevin Doherty, CEO of PHASE 2 International. "To make it work, you need a reliable, centralized source control tool. Team Foundation Server provides source code control for Visual Studio projects; what's unique about our offering is that we host it, we manage it and we charge just for its use— whether there are just a few or numerous contributors—at a low per-user cost with no contracts and no strings."

Team Foundation Server is the industry standard for collaborating on Visual Studio coding projects. Buying, installing, and maintaining the software, though, has deterred some from implementing this prudent control. PHASE 2's offering of Hosted Team Foundation Server breaks down the barriers because, as with other PHASE 2 offerings, the company hosts and maintains application. There are no setup fees or up-front charges and no contract commitments for client companies or coders – no matter where they are – to use Hosted Team Foundation Server. And, with the backing of PHASE 2's 30-day guarantee, there's nothing to lose in giving it a try.

PHASE 2's full complement of SaaS application solutions includes its ShareCAD Pro, a powerful centralized platform based on Microsoft SharePoint for contractors, architects and manufacturers and a host of other applications that it provides to customers on a central server-based ‘pay as you go' basis. Offering use of Microsoft's SharePoint, Exchange, Project Server, CRM and Office Communicator as well as PHASE 2's own ShareMeeting and award-winning ShareCAD Pro, the low total cost of ownership incorporated in PHASE 2's SaaS model allows customers to benefit from a broader range of products than they could otherwise consider.
