SAN RAMON, Calif.--()--WANdisco, the makers of Enterprise Subversion with active core developers from the project on staff, has become the market leader for Subversion software and support by enabling large organizations to realize all of the benefits of using open source software without any of the risks. WANdisco’s certified Subversion software undergoes the same rigorous quality assurance as its enterprise solutions that support the world’s largest Subversion implementations. When this freely available open source software is combined with support services that include guaranteed response times, 24-by-7 access to online and phone support, automated delivery of the latest fixes and upgrades and other benefits that normally come with commercial software support contracts, WANdisco’s customers achieve complete peace of mind.
“24-by-7 access to live support professionals and core Subversion developers who can provide immediate fixes is essential when problems arise. That’s why so many organizations that want the same peace of mind that comes with commercial enterprise software and support have made the switch to WANdisco”
