ToolsCloud was the first company to provide a complete Continuous Integration environment, supporting full Application Lifecycle Management services in the cloud. Totally based on open source tools, and hosted on Amazon’s amazing cloud infrastructure, we have been supporting Brazilian customers for nearly 2 years now, with wonderful results.

Vinicius Senger, from Globalcode, one of the largest Java training companies in Brazil, considers that “the ToolsCloud environment is perfect for us at Globalcode. Our national team of instructors, developers and collaborators can now share projects, requirements, code, and more through our integrated cloud environment”. Globalcode developed their Duke Choice’s Award winning jHome Automation System project in their ToolsCloud environment.

Now, in the US market, we are able to offer similar results to US customers. Kevin Hiser, President of QStart Labs tell us that “ToolsCloud’s suite of pre-integrated tools has provided our development team access to everything they need to build and deploy web applications for our clients while reducing the maintenance and upgrade burden on our systems team. This has greatly increased our overall team’s productivity!”.

Thank you to all our customers, investors and friends for believing and helping us bring together the best open source tools and to improve software development. It has been a wonderful learning experience, and we look forward to do more in the US market!

An open source project, that has a strong and active community, Redmine is used by many companies and by some large and important open source projects, and is praised by developers around the world. Because it is open source, Redmine is extensible, what allows us at ToolsCloud to offer an environment that is powerful and configurable so developers love to use. At the same time, Redmine offers an user friendly interface, that invites the non-technical members of the team to participate and become more active in the project. All this gives managers a tool to effectively manage the project and deliver quality product to customers.
