What Customers Are Saying About Teamstudio Delta

"We have had a big push lately to implement change management, and Teamstudio Delta has been right there for me throughout. Sometimes a project gets interrupted with day-to-day firefighting, and when I come back to the project a week later, I need to recall where I was. With Delta I can compare differences between the production template and the development templates to quickly assess what has been done and where I was. It has also been invaluable in comparing templates vs. production databases to make sure that there are not changes in one and not in the other. On several occasions, a previous developer quit using the template and was doing work on production databases. Delta allowed me to find what was different, and let me get the templates updated in a tiny percentage of the time it may have taken me to go through things manually."

"NaviSite's solid tradition in Domino hosting and development relies on Teamstudio. Since we often deploy the same custom environment-management utilities to multiple customer environments, tools like Teamstudio Delta and Configurator are invaluable for helping us keep everything in synch and using the latest version of our code. In addition, Teamstudio Analyzer helps us quickly come up to speed on a customer's existing application for the instances where we take ownership of a customer's application environment. I honestly don't know where we'd be without our Teamstudio tools!"

"I am a Domino Administrator for about three thousand accounts. Since we do not have a developer on staff, I've had to learn the basics of Domino application development. Working with templates that had been modified by a former consultant was very difficult, and I ordered Teamstudio Delta in the hopes that it would make my job easier.

Once we installed Delta, I was able to quickly and easily find all the differences between the original database designs and those that had been modified by the consultant. For example, since I could determine the exact changes that had been made to the mail template we all used, I could make informed decisions about how to modify the R5 mail template for a corporate-wide rollout.

Teamstudio Delta has increased my understanding of -and confidence in -the design aspect of my job. Judging from my last performance review, my boss is pleased as well!"

"Teamstudio Delta is an excellent tool to verify what changes are being made to a database design in a production environment. The software's valuable ability to provide side-by-side comparisons of different databases makes it extremely easy for us to drill down to very low-level differences in the database designs. Without Teamstudio Delta, we'd need to do a lot more manual checking of our databases. Delta gives us the assurance of knowing where the differences between database designs are, and a result, saves us a lot of work."

"I have been using Teamstudio Configurator and Teamstudio Delta since 1998. When I joined PB Foods, Ltd. in 2001, I encouraged my managers to purchase the tools because I knew how valuable they were and how much time they could save.

Part of my initial role was to develop some programming standards for our Lotus Notes development environment. Once these new standards were introduced, we had to bring all our old applications into compliance. Using Teamstudio Configurator, we were able to quickly find and replace many elements within the database design and documents. This project, which would have normally taken several months, was completed in only a week!

Another new development standard we've implemented is to use Teamstudio Delta when migrating changes from our development environment to our production environment. I use Delta to compare the new template design with the current one in production, to ensure that only the appropriate changes are implemented. By applying Delta, instances of new bugs and invalid functionality have been reduced, and have hence substantially cut our migration and maintenance time.

These experiences alone convinced my managers that the cost of Teamstudio Delta and Teamstudio Configurator was well worth the expense."

"We used the Teamstudio Delta product in our migration efforts of Notes Release R5. We used the Delta product to do comparisons with vanilla R5 templates and those we had heavily customized. We were able to verify that all changes made were successfully added to the new R5 mail and Directory templates."
