Approach

About Collaborama

The emergence of the Internet has completely transformed certain industries (e.g. E-Commerce, Publishing), however the field of Software Development has not significantly changed since the beginning. An idea is formed and requirements gathered. A developer or company team starts to write some code, checks it into a version control system, creates a build system that compiles it and runs automated tests, eventually creates a deployment system to push the code the correct runtime server(s). The code is written from mostly from scratch, integrating a few libraries or infrastructure components from open source components or commercial vendors. Bugs a recorded, projects managed, and then the software is made available to customers. Every phase of creation is slow, manual, non-integrated, and doesn't leverage the exponential network effects of the Web.

 

Collaborama is the first integrated collaborative marketplace and developer environment that re-imagines the entire software process from Ideation, through Team Formation, Funding, Development, Testing, Deployment, all the way to the way software is delivered to the end user. Read on to learn about the Collaborama's unique approach.
