Microsoft Buys Teamprise

Filed in archive Programming on November 17, 2009

Microsoft has purchased all Teamprise-related assets from SourceGear LLC.

"Teamprise allows developers using the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) running on operating systems including Unix, Linux and Mac OS X to build applications with Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server," writes ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley. "Team Foundation Server is Microsoft’s team-collaboration tool for developers."

"In effect, Microsoft is making a bid to supply back end services to developers who are not using Visual Studio on a project, or who are using tools in addition to Visual Studio," writes InformationWeek's Charles Babcock. "By providing a connection to Eclipse, Microsoft opens Team Foundation Server for use by a wide variety of C++ and Java programmers whose tools work inside the Eclipse-integrated environment."
