Catalog Description
As “software eats the world,” to use Marc Andreessen's (Co-founder, Netscape and leading Software
Entrepreneur) phrase, versioning becomes critical to business success because corporate value is often
contained in the software assets created by the company. As such, companies need to balance speed,
flexibility, and collaboration with the need to lock down and protect that intellectual property. Yet, as
companies embrace DevOps, they find friction between the teams responsible for development and those
responsible for delivery. In short, the demands of DevOps require deeper functionality and more
collaborative capabilities than traditional version control systems deliver. From a DevOps point of view, it
is important to properly use a source code management tool as a natural meeting point for different roles
and teams in your organization.

• Developers live and breathe source code management. It's their bread and butter.
• Operations personnel also favor managing the descriptions of infrastructure in the form of code,
scripts, and other artifacts.

• Modern day software delivery originates from multiple branches and pipelines and scm tools are
needed to maintain high velocity of software delivery.

• Quality assurance personnel can store their automated tests in codified form in the source code
repository.
