buildfactoryRegistered trademark features & benefits

"Is improving IT responsiveness with a reduced budget the stuff of dreams?"

Automation

buildfactory mobilizes projects by automating the lifecycle for combination, integration and deployment of code for enterprise development teams. A configurable build lifecycle provides controls to schedule, prioritise, distribute and parallel Build and Release Management functions.

Orchestration – Managing Dependencies

buildfactory accelerates the pace of development by enabling you to synchronise the development of shared components and services across parallel teams in multiple locations.

Governance

buildfactory improves software quality by establishing Quality Gates for test compliance across the project lifecycle. A web dashboard presents real time metrics against configurable thresholds for both functional and non-functional criteria to monitor project performance. Thereby, promoting status notification and real time visibility.

Service Orientated

In support of SOA-driven initiatives, buildfactory works at the Service as well as the 'component' level. This enables multiple versions of services to be shared / synchronised among parallel teams so reusable 'horizontal' services can be developed in parallel with 'vertical' project - driven business functionality.

Extensible and Non-Invasive

Rapid implementation is assured through flexible integration with existing infrastructure (version control, issue tracking, source control, build & deploy tools) .No need to rip and replace your existing investments. buildfactory’s unique 3-way integration API means plug-ins can easily be developed to support custom lifecycle, deployment platform or build tools integration.

Agnostic

buildfactory supports Java and Microsoft technologies including; BEA AquaLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Oracle, Sun, Tomcat, .NET, VB6, SQL Server, and BizTalk on Windows and UNIX platforms.

Proven

Corporates, Global System Integrators and ISV/Product Companies are today using buildfactory across distributed project teams; integrating onshore and offshore operations to optimise development productivity, predictability and financial economies.

buildfactory thrives on the challenges of scale, disparate project teams and impossible timelines.
