If you have a chance to read the testimonials for ProjectLocker on the Case Studies page of our website, you'll see that one of the more ringing endorsements for our services comes from a manager with Salesforce.com's professional services team. It seems that our hosted Subversion services was integral to the success of this team of consultants.
But now that Salesforce has started to reach beyond CRM into the world of application development with Force.com, they've given an even better recommendation for our services on their official blog. See the details of how you can integrate Subversion with your Force.com development environment at http://blog.sforce.com/sforce/2008/12/put-your-forcecom-app-under-version-control.html .

We love feedback.
So much so, we even have an e-mail address soley dedicated to receiving the thoughts of our clients, called, unsurprisingly, feedback@projectlocker.com.
At this moment in particular, we would love to hear from all of our current clients with your thoughts on our hosted Subversion service. What do you love? What do you love less? What would you like to see changed?

A recent entry at O'Reilly's OnLamp blog, entitled "Subversion for BSD With All the Bells and Whistles" described the time and effort that an experienced system administrator like Jeff Palmer had to take to install and configure a local instance of Subversion from scratch. In speaking with Jeff, he told me that it took up 2 days to make that first install, although now, he's probably cut the process down to 1.5 to 2 hours. In addition, he spends roughly an hour a week on maintanence.
A time savings, to be sure. But, a developer team could have access to a comparable instance of Subversion literally within moments of signing up from our website.
In addition to near instantaneous provisioning for most clients, ProjectLocker's user interfaces simplify the process of team and user management to such a degree that, for many of our clients, those tasks can be assigned to non-technical managers, freeing your more technical team members to concentrate on your most stubborn technical challenges.
It also doesn't take into account the time & materials required to both implement and maintain a backup & recovery strategy comparable to the one provided by ProjectLocker for all of our services.
Or the time saved on your development efforts by the speed of a ProjectLocker restore should such a disaster occur.
Or the flexibility of downloading backups on demand.
Or the convenience of receiving commit notifications in either Twitter or Jabber.
Or ProjectLocker's proprietary Subversion enhancements, like our Analytics tool.
In short, the time and expense your system administrators can save every day by choosing ProjectLocker is just the tip of our software quality iceberg.
Just something to consider.
