Agile Deployment with Team Foundation Server 2010

The Challenge

When managing the Application Lifecycle within SharePoint, organizations using Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) face the common challenge of deploying Builds to Test and Production environments. Natively, manual release efforts can interrupt otherwise Agile development cycles, thereby breaking popular TFS benefits such as data collection, reporting, and project tracking.

The Solution

To accelerate and extend the benefits of TFS, RepliWeb supports tighter DevOps collaboration by seamlessly executing the release of Builds directly from TFS to SharePoint Test and UAT environments. Transparent to end-users working in TFS, Activity Workflows can look to a Build Template then call a RepliWeb Build Activity to execute a Deployment. Additionally, any deployment processes can be audited and configured to propagate the audit logs propagated to the relative TFS build.

RepliWeb solutions fully support SharePoint and .NET Development environments.
