Perforce Survey Reveals Version Management Extends Across the Enterprise

Organizations are using Perforce to version everything from software code to business documents

Alameda, Calif, April 17, 2012 - A recent survey by Perforce Software found that version management is used across the enterprise to manage content well beyond software code. The survey of more than 1,200 Perforce users at more than 900 companies worldwide shows that Perforce enterprise version management software is used within many departments - including operations, sales, marketing, finance, human resources, and legal - and to manage a variety of digital assets, including business documents, multimedia files, images and web content.

“The need to better collaborate on digital assets isn’t unique to software development,” said Nigel Chanter, chief operating officer at Perforce Software. “In fact, versioning issues are far reaching and can sap productivity from any department or team. This survey validates what we’ve learned from discussions with our customers and partners, that robust version control capabilities benefit almost any professional working on any type of shared file.”
