An outsourcing services firm, gDev (subsidiary of Trilogy, Inc.) leverages a global network of specialists to guarantee on-time delivery of high-quality code. gDev needed a reliable source control system that would provide secure multi-site access for over 500 in-house/external developers in dozens of countries.


gDev's Problem
  • Trilogy struggled with maintaining multiple SCM systems (MKS, Perforce, SourceSafe), maintained by full time administrators, creating silos of client data.
  • The company experienced over 800 hrs of lost developer time each month, due to server outages, failure to access core repositories, and crippling virus intrusions.
  • gDev was providing contractors with VPN access into the corporate firewall to access client projects, compromising internal security.

Codesion Solution

  • gDev selected Codesion for its migration and customer support services, ease of use, ability to scale, and its proven 99.99% uptime.
  • In less than a week, Trilogy and Codesion technicians converted and deployed over 75 MKS and Subversion repositories onto the Codesion platform.
  • Activity Feed (RSS) allows live teammate tracking.
  • Centralized billing and administration.
