CollabNet, a leading provider of cloud-based Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions for agile software delivery at scale, today announced a partnership with IBM to offer its CloudForge development platform in the IBM Cloud Marketplace. Starting today, IBM clients can sign up for a CloudForge account to gain instant access to leading tools that developers use to manage development projects (plan, code, track and collaborate) and deploy code in the cloud.

The IBM Cloud marketplace offers clients access to more than 100 SaaS applications, IBM’s Bluemix platform-as-a-service with its suite of composable services, the powerful SoftLayer infrastructure-as-a-service and IBM’s rich intellectual capital and deep industry expertise. This single online destination with a suite of cloud services delivers a new buying experience for clients that enables line of business professionals to deploy new services faster; allows developers to build them with greater speed; and offers IT departments more creative, efficient and lower-cost ways to deliver these services.

“As part of the IBM Cloud marketplace, IBM clients can now easily embrace cloud development to provide structure and visibility to software development projects, as well as improve productivity and reduce costs,” said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO of CollabNet. “The move to more projects being developed in the cloud provides a more efficient and practical path for development teams to code, collaborate and deploy software.”

CollabNet’s CloudForge helps developers build websites, mobile/cloud/web applications, and rapidly prototype and deploy business software. Built for the enterprise, it offers a fast and practical path to grow and scale organization-wide, through a flexible role-based framework that makes it easy for developers to use and administrators to scale to thousands of users.
