CM Crossroads Feature Article
Do You Need Agents?
By Bob Aiello  

CM Crossroads

Recently, I worked with a few of my colleagues to implement an Application Lifecycle Methodology (ALM) solution that included a full build infrastructure that provided most of the functionality of a Continuous Integration (CI) server. This was part of a rich and powerful technology solution that managed all aspects of the Software Development Lifecycle. During this effort, I realized that some of my colleagues did not fully grasp the scope and purpose of using a build agent.

ReleaseTEAM Achieves Veteran Owned Business Classsification

ReleaseTEAM, Inc., an IT solutions and staffing company, was recognized with Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Status as of October 2010. ReleaseTEAM is currently registered with the General Service Administration and the Central Contractor Registration, the primary registrant databases for the U.S. Federal Government. ReleaseTEAM founders Shawn Doyle and Karl Todd both honorably served in the U.S. Army, providing grounds for this most recent business classification achievement.


ReleaseTEAM made the decision to register for VOSB certification in response to requests from federal contractors, and public and private businesses, who wanted to partner with diversity-credentialed vendors who could deliver quality IT services. ReleaseTEAM was happy to respond to these requests, and the designation has garnered tremendous positive feedback from clients.

"We're proud to be recognized as a Veteran-Owned Business (VOB)," states Shawn Doyle. "While we've always been a VOB, after 11 years we've finally taken the steps for verification. Now, ReleaseTEAM can better serve our clients that may have a requirement to work with minority-owned businesses or who want to honor the business efforts of Americans who have served in the armed forces."

By including minority-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier/vendor diversity programs. The certification also offers a way for companies to extend their support to the military and the men and women who serve in it.
