What is CollabNet TeamForge?

CollabNet TeamForge is an integrated suite of Web-based development and collaboration tools that synchronizes distributed teams and disparate processes to simplify development.

By centralizing management of users, projects, processes, and IP assets, CollabNet TeamForge dramatically reduces costs, increases productivity, and improves project visibility.

CollabNet TeamForge can be deployed on-site or as a secure on-demand offering to further reduce infrastructure costs.
