Founded in 2006, zAgile is The Open Source Leader in Information Collaboration and has corporate headquarters in San Francisco. Information collaboration is the deep integration of information across teams, tools, and applications, with a common semantic web based infrastructure, enabling comprehensive organization-wide collaboration. zAgile has solved one of the most long-standing and perplexing problems in collaboration: the problem of integrating teams, tools and applications, processes, and knowledge. zAgile significantly reduces costs of collaboration on projects, assures consistency of methodologies across all projects, and instills confidence and predictability of delivery schedules. Founder Sanjiva Nath, an expert in Enterprise Information Management, distributed engineering projects, and semantic web technologies, discovered that the solution is achieved through a combination of these disciplines. He developed his theories through innovative research in semantic web technologies and ontologies.

zAgile enables information integration and collaboration with information. While current market offerings aim to connect silos of data with web services, it is simply a good first step in the right direction. If stopped there, that approach offers only limited integration without built-in meaning of information. zAgile’s open and standards-based infrastructure, built on semantic web technologies provides a foundation for information integration with other applications in the enterprise. For example, business dashboards today give a very confined view of the world, limited to sales and marketing data. zAgile is the first to capture the product and engineering side of information and thus enable a bridge to sales and marketing information in a comprehensive, collaborative way.  Therefore, for the first time, it is possible to easily answer questions in a glance, like:

  • How much revenue did these 3 key features deliver?
  • How much revenue did our top 15 bugs cost us?
  • What is the precise status of the new product version, at this minute?
  • How may I immediately retrieve the precise document or information I am thinking of?

In other words, zAgile gives a CEO , executives, and individual stakeholders a 360 degree view of information, of course corresponding to their access rights.

Central to Information Collaboration, zAgile has pioneered Software Information Management (SIM), the software engineerig sector dedicated to integrating and managing information associated with all phases and aspects of the software engineering lifecycle. The SIM segment is tangentially related to, but not fully addressed by: ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), SCM (Software Configuration Management), Wikis, content management, collaboration tools, and other segments. zAgile products provide cohesion, collaboration, and confidence to software projects. 

Today, zAgile offers solutions to geographically distributed teams, to harness and maximize their teams’ synergies in a way that has not been possible until now.

zAgile partners include Atlassian, HP, WanDisco, and Red Hat/JBoss.
