New features improve security and collaboration for distributed
development teams across the application development lifecycle
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced an update to its FeedHenry
3 mobile application platform. The update, featuring a new Teams and
Collaboration enhancement, is an expansion to one of the industry's
leading mobile application platforms for enterprise development. The
FeedHenry 3 mobile application platform brings something new to the
market with its integrated collaboration and access control features
that support distributed development teams working in unison across
multiple application projects.
The FeedHenry 3 Teams and Collaboration enhancement includes:
-
Global collaboration on mobile application projects: Multiple
distributed development teams, both in-house and outsourced, can work
simultaneously in FeedHenry 3 on mobile application projects, which
consist of a variety of client applications, cloud applications, and
services, each with their own individual Git repositories. Developers
work individually but with access to relevant project-related
components, increasing agility at individual stages in the application
development lifecycle.
-
Role-based collaboration across the application lifecycle:
Multiple skills and teams, from application design, front-end coding,
back-end services development, analytics, administration, and more,
can work concurrently across multiple application projects bringing
applications to market faster and more efficiently without impacting
individual developer agility and productivity.
-
Access controls for mobile projects: Configuration of
fine-grained controls at individual levels of each mobile project
enables ease and security of access to key project components. This
helps lock functionality at different levels within the platform. For
example, by setting authorized access controls, sensitive back-end
systems credentials can be insulated from third-party or other
developer roles, providing greater security and compliance. This
fine-grained access control also encourages an API-driven and
micro-services development and discovery approach, enabling ease of
discovery and reuse of core components and services.
-
Company-wide visibility across mobile projects: Centralizing
collaboration and control across multiple skills in multiple mobile
projects, across various stages of their lifecycle, enables visibility
of all company-wide mobile projects. This promotes a mobile-first
approach to enterprise mobility, supporting innovation and reuse.

Cathal McGloin, vice president, Mobile Platforms, Red Hat
"Enterprise mobility has matured beyond a single application, silo
approach, toward a team-based, business-centric model, where multiple
applications, at various stages of the application development
lifecycle, are managed by different teams. Organizations are looking to
improve their agility and responsiveness on mobility projects while at
the same time having distributed teams and centralized policy
management. Teams and Collaboration, as an integrated feature across the
FeedHenry 3 platform, addresses this need, enabling a granularity of
access control across different development resources, whether in-house
or third-party, that promotes agility and reuse of core components."
Chris Marsh, principal analyst, 451 Research
"With 40 percent of large enterprises planning to increase their
application development outsourcing, collaboration across enterprise IT,
lines of business and any external partners that may be involved is
crucial. As the complexity of juggling multiple application projects and
the pressure of faster development cycles increase, enterprises will
look to platform vendors to offer more team-based collaboration features
that provide centralized visibility and control of all application
development projects across the organization."
