New Case Study: EDS and Team Foundation Server

  • Article

There's a new business case study (EDS: Global IT Firm Improves Teamwork, Lowers Risk with Distributed-Server Development)  on the Microsoft Case Studies site.

EDS has nine Centers of Expertise for its Microsoft® .NET Framework developers in various locations, from India to Wales. EDS recognized that a distributed-server model would better serve these Centers and minimize the risks associated with centralized systems.

It describes how EDS and Microsoft worked together to deploy a solution to create a distributed-development environment for EDS using multiple Team Foundation Servers, and a centrally-located Team Foundation Server.
