CollabNet Enterprise Edition (CEE) provides an integrated suite of software development, lifecycle management, and collaboration tools in an extensible Web-based platform. By extending distributed Software Configuration Management (SCM) to the entire software development lifecycle, CollabNet Enterprise Edition reduces management and administration costs, increases team productivity, and improves project visibility.
CollabNet Enterprise Edition can be deployed on-premise or as a secure on-demand offering to further reduce infrastructure costs.
Coordinate the entire lifecycle with complete Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
Improve traceability and visibility by associating source code with requirements, issues, documents, discussions and other artifacts.
Use event notifications to implement custom workflows.
Import out-of-the-box CollabNet ALM templates to standardize the project lifecycle. Choose from three standard ALM templates--the waterfall-oriented CollabNet Baseline Process, an agile process template, and a Unified process template--that contain all the essential components required to manage a software development project, including:
Lifecycle stage definitions
Lifecycle entry/exit criteria including document/specification templates
Predefined artifacts including requirements, actions, and defects
Project pages for structuring and organizing project content
A tools view that provides access to native and relevant CollabNet and external tools
Create custom templates in line with the specific needs of the enterprise or project and export these to drive standards as needed.
Simplify management and security with common user and project administration
Easily model and enforce organizational structures and relationships (such as outsourced development or QA teams, partner co-development) with a rich role-based access framework.
Use predefined default roles (for example, project owner, developer) or create new roles based on the particular needs of the team or enterprise.
Map specific tool or resource-access levels (such as bug and feature databases, source code repositories, mailing lists, wikis, document folders, or file releases) to the needs of a particular role or group to comply with security policies.
Validate users against existing LDAP systems for centralized access control.
Improve transparency and navigation of the entire project portfolio by supporting project hierarchies and groups categories.
Easily manage project workspaces to standardize or customize project resources, content, and organization.
Establish a secure, central source code and project content inventory to support audit and compliance requirements.
Simplify SCM repository creation, configuration, and browsing.
Associate issues, requirements, and other artifacts with commits in one or multiple different SCM repositories to protect investments in tools and expertise.
Post and manage approved file release packages to give coworkers and customers access to the latest assets.
Use fine-grained access controls and download statistics to control and gauge release effectiveness.
Improve collaboration with integrated forums, mailing lists, wikis, and document management
Provide structured, traceable and globally searchable project communication within and across teams.
Rapidly build project content with integrated HTML/WYSIWYG Project Content Editor.
Create artifact 'watch lists' by integrating dynamic/AJAX queries into project content.
Automatically capture and archive forum/mailing list history as a knowledge base.
Improve security and privacy by consistently applying role-based access across all types of project communications.
Use the file repository for design or architecture documents, requirements, project plans, and more.
Simplify collaboration with full document versioning and automated document review.
Use the Microsoft Office plugin to leverage familiar tools while storing documents in a central repository.
Allow users to work in their favorite browser, email, or RSS client and get instant notification of changes to monitored discussions, wikis, documents, or artifacts.
Simplify interoperability and extensibility with Open Web Services APIs
Simplify integration with a universal artifact hub and ALM association framework.
Securely synchronize data between CollabNet Enterprise Edition and third-party lifecycle tools, such as HP Quality Center, IBM Rational ClearCase, Salesforce.com CRM, or Eclipse.
Establish workflows, enable cross-lifecycle visibility, and ensure alignment between QA, business analyst, customer support, and development teams.
Take advantage of the CollabNet Integration Framework to quickly build integrations, protecting and extending existing investments.

Reduce infrastructure and administration costs with CollabNet Software as a Service (SaaS)
Use the CollabNet Managed Service Option to reduce the cost of software development infrastructure, hardware, and system administration.
Get the fastest, most secure, and most reliable SaaS user experience.
With nearly 500 peering relationships at its datacenter facilities, CollabNet can connect its datacenter network directly to other Internet providers to work seamlessly around network problems and do "traffic shaping."
Each piece of network equipment is fully redundant with a sister unit designed for both load-sharing and on-the-fly fail-over for maximum reliability and availability. In addition, each server is hardened to ensure that all unnecessary services and daemons are disabled, eliminating risk of attack via back doors in non-essential services.
Active Disaster Recovery provides a mirrored/failover server hosted and managed remote from CollabNet's primary datacenter.
Virtual Private Disks store mission-critical data in encrypted form for additional data security.
Rely on secure and safe facilities that are:
Reinforced against possible earthquake damage.
Protected by physical access security, including human security guards, a passcard system, video surveillance, and other security measures.
Equipped with power management and redundancy.
Consider private network hosting options. CollabNet can also provide virtual private network (VPN) connections and private leased lines from the CollabNet datacenters to the customer's own facilities.
