Microsoft has put an agreement to acquire the InRelease Business Unit from InCycle Software, a leading provider of application lifecycle management (ALM) services and Release Management solutions on the .NET platform.
“DevOps is an increasingly important part of ALM and a growing area of interest to chief information officers as businesses are pressured to develop and deploy quality applications at an increasingly faster pace,” said S. Somasegar, corporate vice president, Developer Division for Microsoft. “The InRelease continuous delivery solution will automate the development-to-production release process from Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, helping enable faster and simpler delivery of applications.”
InCycle is the producer of InRelease, a continuous deployment solution for .NET teams that makes release cycles repeatable, visible and more efficient.
InCycle was founded in 2002 and, last year, the company merged with Sirk Technologies, another ALM-focused Microsoft partner with offices in San Francisco and Seattle.
