Free Single-user Licenses
Search on any developer forum, google it, whatever, and the same answers come up whenever the question 'What are the essential
tools for developers?' is asked: Version Control and
Bug Tracking are consistently in the top 5 list of essential tools, whether you are
developing on your own or as part of a larger team.
Integrate them within a single product and you have a compelling combination. Team Coherence integrates both
tools in one easy to use product, allowing issues to be associated with source files, and source changes to be associated
with issues. Why spend large amounts of time reconciling different, and possibly incompatible, systems when Team Coherence
does it out of the box.
The single-user license for Version Manager and Tracker
is FREE, and has the same easy to use functionality as the team licenses. As and when your projects expand, you can add
additional licenses in an ad-hoc manner as required.
Once you start using it you'll wonder how you did without it.
Integrated or Standalone
Both Version Manager and Tracker can be run as separate modules or combined. Obviously, though, you want the solution to
be as simple as possible.
Most projects are not fixed in stone. Start with a few developers, then add some support/QA staff, then another developer as
the project picks up. You now have more developers that support staff. Support don't need to see the source, and developers may
only need to see the reported issues. Not a problem with Team Coherence: You only need to purchase the licenses you require,
and there is no obligation to match Version Manager licenses with Tracker licenses.
Nor is there any obligation to purchase both at the same time. Simply analyse your requirements and purchase the licenses for
whatever modules you require for the functions you need. Add licenses as required.
Purchase what you need when you need it.
Easy to install. Low maintenance. High ROI.
High Return on Investment
One of the biggest barriers to adopting a new SCM system is the high cost, both in the up-front purchase as well as the
ongoing maintenance and administration. In each category and overall, Team Coherence delivers.
Low purchase price: Since Team Coherence does not require any third-party software to run (e.g. database
licenses/maintenance), and there are no hidden addons, you know exactly what you are paying.
Runs on standard hardware: Team Coherence Server does not require dedicated hardware, and client
workstations do not need upgrading to run Team Coherence. In addition, Team Coherence's networking is not a significant load
for a typical LAN/WAN. Team Coherence can usually be deployed without the purchase of any additional hardware.
Near Zero Administration: With little need for customization or configuration, Team Coherence can be up
and running in minutes. Other than backup, it can simply be a case of install and forget.
