VSTS/TFS Customer Testimonial – Adam Software

June 22, 2009

 
About a year ago I performed a VSTS/TFS assignment for Adam Software, a global software vendor of marketing platform technologies that provide the ability to manage, structure and deliver media between people, processes and systems. This assignment was really fun to do and the customer was really pleased with the result. A few weeks ago, a Microsoft case study was published to put Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server in the spotlight.

In case you still wonder : setting up a robust and reliable enterprise software development environment with Team Foundation Server may be a big investment, but it always pays off. Not only financially! Your development team will also be working with the best tools and processes to do their job. In the long run you might even attract or repel developers just because of the type of development environment you provide as an organisation! For those who worked already in a TFS environment with Version Control, Work Item Tracking and Automated Builds … would you want to go back in time and work with Visual SourceSafe to deliver quality software enterprise applications?

Still looking for a challenging development job where you are able to use the best tools and processes : Adam Software is hiring!

About this blog

October 1, 2008

 
My name is Pieter Gheysens and I’m working as a .NET Consultant and Team Lead for Compuware Belgium. I already have a blog on .NET Development and I also blog there about the VISUG community events in Belgium which I organize as a User Group Leader.

Recently I decided to start a dedicated blog on Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).

IMHO VSTS is currently the best solution on the market to deliver quality enterprise software in a controlled way. Whether you are a 5 person enterprise or a 1000 person enterprise, Team Foundation Server can help by making collaboration and communication easier than ever. You need good people in a software development team, but you also need the right tools and processes in place for your people to do their best work. That’s where Microsoft Visual Studio Team System comes into play. It’s an integrated Application lifecycle Management (ALM) solution comprising tools, processes, and guidance to help everyone on the team improve their skills and work more effectively together.

On this blog I would like to share some best practices about using Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server. Tips & tricks to make us more productive is what we all want not? Team System can be used out-of-the-box, but the product cries for customization and that’s where we all need some guidance. We should adopt Team System to fit into our process and not the other way around! I will also focus on the upcoming release(s) of Visual Studio Team System.

So, stay tuned for more!
