July 24, 2006; 04:48 AM
VersionOne, LLC, of Agile development management solutions, announced the summer 2006 release of V1: Agile Enterprise , the company's integrated planning and management platform for Agile development. With the latest release, VersionOne extends its platform for Agile development with the V1: Agile API, a secure, Web service Application Programming Interface (API) that allows teams to tightly integrate V1: Agile Enterprise with external applications. The V1: Agile API enables simplified integration in organizations deploying a service oriented architecture (SOA).

"Our customers have been looking for an effective way to integrate their Agile processes and project data with complementary software development tools," said Robert Holler, president and CEO of VersionOne. "With the V1: Agile API, customers can leverage their investment in existing tools and automate the flow of information throughout the software development life cycle."

Additional features in this release of V1: Agile Enterprise include the ability to:

-- Automatically track and notify members of relevant changes through an RSS-based notification system

-- Quickly display detailed member dashboards that automate metrics based on individual team member data

-- Easily attach documents, images and other files to current system assets

V1: Agile Enterprise, along with the company's team edition, V1: Agile Team, is the only product to offer support for both On-Demand and On-Site delivery models, the ability to choose from either subscription or license-based pricing, and support for multiple Agile methodologies. As a result, customers can maximize their flexibility in deploying Agile development to teams of any size. V1: Agile Enterprise is currently relied upon by more than 1,000 teams and more than 20 Fortune 100 companies around the world to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their software delivery.

Pricing & Availability

V1: Agile Enterprise incorporates the V1: Agile API and is available immediately as both a hosted "On-Demand" service and as a locally installed "On-Site" solution. V1: Agile Enterprise is available as a subscription starting at $30 per user, per month, or can be licensed for $500 per user, plus support and maintenance.
