Sourcesense and Go2Group Announce New Partnership on Innovative Open Source Solutions and Services

Sept. 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Bel Air, MD - Sourcesense, the European provider of open source solutions and The Go To Group, Inc. (Go2Group), a leader in the field of Software Production Line Automation (SPLA), today announced a broad technological partnership to extend middleware alternatives into the software development environment. With the combination of Sourcesense's open source expertise and Go2Group's best-practice services, the partnership aims to bring the power and value of open source solutions to customers looking for an option to today's traditional enterprise solutions.

The partnership will include Sourcesense reselling the Go2Group JaM Plugin, Go2Group's best-selling product that provides integration between Atlassian JIRA and HP Quality Center. The Go2Group JaM Plugin is available for evaluation and sale through Sourcesense today.

Go2Group will begin immediate development and support for Sourcesense's Scarlet clustering component to the Terracotta scalable solution. Initial development will include focusing on the installation process and understanding customer demands for features in an updated roadmap and contributing to the development of Scarlet for JIRA 4.0.

Brett Taylor, Go2Group's CEO, said, "We were looking to partner with an exceptional open source firm to leverage our services with valued, market-tested solutions. Our partnership with Sourcesense will bring a truly global, robust set of solutions and services to those firms looking to replace or complement proprietary and enterprise solutions."

"We've known Go2Group for a number of years now, and we're excited to begin working closer than ever with their highly-skilled team", said Gianugo Rabellino, Sourcesense's CEO. "With Sourcesense's full coverage of open source services and solutions, combined with Go2Group's products and development expertise as well as their support and footprint in N. America and Japan, we're certain our enterprise-class customers will fully benefit from this partnership."

Additional partnership details will include leveraging regional support hours for Go2Group and Sourcesense products, a new packaged solution aimed at geographically disbursed organizations looking for best-of-breed software development tools, and best-practice services for high-availability and scalable solutions.

Go2Group products allow disparate solutions and teams to collaborate seamlessly, without the need for an increase in costs associated with training, licenses, and additional support resources. Both Go2Group and Catch Limited products include free, fully-supported, 30-day evaluation periods.
