Case Study: Bare Bones Software achieves faster performance and eliminates data corruption with Perforce Helix Core

Bare Bones Software - Customer Case Study

Bare Bones Software, maker of Mac tools like BBEdit and TextWrangler, struggled with a primitive, file-based versioning system (Projector) that caused severe latency, data corruption risks, time-consuming conflict resolution, and virtually no collaborative or remote development capability. These limitations slowed development and made release and change tracking unreliable.

Switching to Helix’s TCP/IP client/server repository gave Bare Bones fast, reliable syncs, eliminated corruption, and made remote work productive (with P4P caching for distributed teams). Helix also enabled true parallel development, automated merging and branching, integrated defect-tracker traceability, near-zero administration, and Helix support built into BBEdit—resulting in dramatically improved developer productivity and better release management for the company and its customers.
