Case Study: Sonatype achieves real-time agile collaboration and faster development workflows with Atlassian HipChat

HipChat helps Sonatype's distributed development team stay agile

Sonatype, a pioneer in component-based software development that helps teams eliminate risks from third-party and open-source components, runs a fully distributed engineering organization across the U.S., Canada, and Europe and follows agile scrum. With more than 30 product development experts who rarely meet in person, Sonatype needed a reliable platform for 1:1 and group communication to keep distributed agile teams aligned — so they adopted HipChat.

HipChat quickly became a core part of Sonatype’s workflow, replacing much email-based communication and expanding across support and sales teams. Integrations with Jira and Bamboo let developers pull issue details into chat and receive build notifications in real time, speeding stand-ups, troubleshooting, and product evaluations and giving the company faster, more connected development and support processes.
