Visual Paradigm Announces Free Cloud-Based Collaboration Platform

LAI CHI KOK, Hong Kong - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Visual Paradigm recently announced the release of VPository, a cloud-based collaboration platform providing software development teams with 1 GB free cloud storage and advanced tools to help optimize collaboration and communication in the three very important stages of software development - business process analysis, enterprise architecture, software design and implementation.

As an inevitable part of software development nowadays, business process analysis is essential in identifying what end users need as well as the best way to address their requirements. Visual Paradigm provides business analysts with process modeling tools like BPMN, DFD, Process Map, EPC Diagram, etc. Combined with VPository, the cloud-based modeling platform, process designs can be synchronized to the rest of the team effortlessly. Furthermore, VPository’s built-in discussion platform enables business analysts, end users and whoever take part in the project to view process diagrams online and leave comments right on the diagrams. Business analysts can publish the updated version of work on VPository. End users can view the diagrams, leave comments and request for refinement. With VPository, clear understanding can be maintained between development team and the end users, through its hassle-free communication support.

Another key aspect of software development is enterprise architecture. In addition to the support of various enterprise architecture modeling standards like ArchiMate, Zachman Framework and Business Motivation Model, VPository supports revision histories and tracking. Sophisticated revision analysis tool has been integrated into the modeling software to support the visual representation of design changes. Enterprise architects can describe the changes of organization base on the evolvement of enterprise architecture models.

Having obtained a clear understanding of end users’ requirements and business visions, the final step is to transform all these into a software/system that can fulfill users’ expectation. Software development relies more and more on team collaboration in recent years. However, there is a lack of support to geographically dispersed software development teams. The enterprise-strength cloud-based collaboration platform supports software development teams with free cloud storage to store, share and manage software designs. Developers can store their designs (e.g. class model) and ideas in the cloud. Teammates, regardless of their physical locations and timezone, can get the design and take appropriate action, such as coding, or constructing database. With VPository, seamless communication can be maintained within a development team.

Users can start using VPository now, with 1 GB storage space, for free. Visual Paradigm has made it hassle free with a simple subscription process. Just by completing a simple subscription that takes no longer than 3 minutes, users can enjoy collaboration with the 1 GB free storage provided. No installation or extra learning required.
