Case Study: Barclays achieves enterprise-wide SCM governance and ~70% cost savings with CollabNet VersionOne (TeamForge)

Enterprise-wide SCM Governance & Collaboration with TeamForge

Barclays Global Investors (BGI), facing rapid growth and increased regulatory scrutiny, needed to centralize 90% of its global source code on a single platform to meet audit and governance requirements. Their incumbent IBM Rational tools could not scale across hundreds of applications, multiple platforms and global teams, creating an urgent need for a more flexible, scalable ALM solution.

After a bake-off, BGI adopted CollabNet TeamForge, using a train‑the‑trainer rollout and strong executive support to migrate 90% of code within months. Forrester’s ROI analysis showed roughly 70% cost savings over three years; the platform securely scaled to thousands of users and partners, improved governance and traceability, shortened release cycles, lowered maintenance costs and enabled more efficient use of resources.
