IBM Innovates towards Globalization

Techtree News Staff, Jan 17, 2008 1851 hrs IST

The company is announcing opening up its development platform based on Web 2.0 technologies for developers to collaborate and contribute to software under development at 'www.Jazz.net'.

IBM has unveiled new software and research innovations aimed at improving the way employees across an organization collaborate in a globally integrated enterprise.

The company is announcing opening up its development platform based on Web 2.0 technologies for developers to collaborate and contribute to software under development at 'www.Jazz.net'. Jazz.net is an open, commercial community designed to help companies globally and transparently collaborate on the development of Jazz-based technology.

IBM says that because of Jazz, a programmer based in India working on a bug or security glitch can use instant messaging to immediately share all the accompanying programming code associated with the bug or glitch to an instant "global development team" that's dynamically-assembled, on the fly.

IBM is also announcing 'IBM Rational Team Concert Express', to be made available later this year, which will help small and mid-sized development teams significantly improve their productivity by enabling real-time collaboration across a geographically dispersed software delivery team.

IBM will offer 'IBM Rational Team Concert Express' free of charge to qualified open source projects, and to academic institutions for use in accredited course programs or academic research projects. 'IBM Rational Team Concert Express', IBM's first offering developed on the Jazz technology platform, is currently available at Jazznet.com.

Additionally, IBM Research is working towards bridging the digital divide across the workforce with 'Project Bluegrass', a project which aims at integrating three key factors -- collaboration, communication, and visualization.

'Project Bluegrass' takes the IBM Jazz technology and creates a virtual-world environment where software developers can work, chat, and brainstorm around a virtual water cooler while "seeing" their teammates alongside interactive visual representations of ideas, and data from the Web and from Jazz-based sources.
