Fujitsu Canada is a consulting firm offering business and IT services. The company had deployed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 but wanted expanded reporting, version control, and task management tools.
To gain those capabilities, it adopted Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010. The company expects to improve productivity and application quality with integrated features such as graphical representations of branched code, hierarchical work items with user-defined links, and a historical debugging tool.
In addition, Fujitsu Canada can organize team projects into collections, making it easier to share not only code but also work and version history with customers.
Reporting tools offer rich project metrics, and developers spend less of their time on repetitive tasks so they can concentrate on more creative, productive work.
