The chain of collaborating teams that add value to
development projects is getting longer, geographically
distributed and more sophisticated. These teams regularly
deal in massive volumes of digital content: not just source
code, but documents, web material and unstructured data
too. For many organizations, keeping track of this complex,
multi-faceted working environment is becoming costly and
demanding to manage.

The rest of the world doesn’t yet know that
version management is so important to them,
just as software developers didn’t know 30
years ago about the importance of
configuration management. But we know, you
know, and they will know, too, that they need
versioning, and they need it online.
