This document provides an overview and summary of Plastic SCM, a distributed version control system created by Codice Software. Some key points: - Plastic SCM allows for increased productivity, faster release cycles, and better code quality through distributed version control. - It provides source control solutions tailored for game developers and artists, allowing coders and artists to work together on the same branches while enabling experimentation through branching. - Plastic SCM supports both centralized and distributed workflows and repositories, with features tailored for both developers and designers/artists like large asset support and a specialized artist-oriented UI/workflow. - It integrates with tools like IDEs, issue trackers, databases, and has been adopted

These users usually coordinate teamwork collaboration by locking file access and repositories are normally huge and include very large binaries

- #9: CODICE SOFTWARE MISSION: Every day millions of lines of software code are written, modified, moved and reorganized, creating awesome new features from games, to devices or applications. Our job is to enable massive parallel changes in software code, visualize, track and keep safe every one of them, and make sure all code is assembled back together precisely. . Developers create the code in parallel We merge it and keep it safe! This increase productivity, from 6-20%, reduce time to assemble a new release by a third, and increase quality of the apps or services, by reducing bugs by 20%, with a 10 fold ROI in 2 years, according to some of our customers. Our Product, Plastic SCM is the Only Commercial Enterprise Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) for Teams of Any Size, Enabling Parallel and Distributed Development that works Now available in the Cloud through Plastic Cloud, a subscription based model.
- #10: Codice Software is a unique position to leverage on Git weaknesses (which are well known!) The software developers demand a Distributed Version Control & Git is the dominant player. Old VC pleayers are in trouble. Most of the competitors rely on an Open Source Version Control (Git) which they do not control Version Control is not one-size fit all (at least 30% of the market cannot work with it because Git has limitations: NO UI created a market for GUI Tools NO strong merge and diff tool created a market for these tools No Security Model No Support for large files (assets, binaries) No centralized support, limits the sacalability in large projects No Locking creates conflicts/limiteations when woring in designs, no code.
