Appfire's Enterprise products and services leverage award-winning technologies from the most trusted names in Enterprise collaboration and software development. These names include Atlassian, where Appfire is a certified 'Premier' partner and Dell, where Appfire sits on the 'OEM Customer Advisory Council'. Featured technologies include:
Atlassian Confluence
http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/
Confluence is widely referred to as the industry standard enterprise wiki. Enterprise wikis make it easy for your team to collaborate, share and archive knowledge. In recent years, wikis like Confluence have become popular as:
- Repositories of wisdom
- Massive online encyclopedias
- E-learning resources
- Tools of savvy businesses, looking for a simple but effective way to share content and information both internally and externally.
What makes Confluence such a great wiki? From top to bottom, Confluence was designed for enterprise use. With its fine-grained permissioning capabilities, you control who can view, create, edit, comment, or upload attachments within work spaces and pages. This keeps confidential information private. Confluence is intuitive, making it possible for everyone within your company to use it without any special programming language.
Also as web-based software, Confluence runs on just about every application server and database and is also offered as a turnkey solution within the Fireball Collaboration Appliance. It's extremely flexible. You can customize the layout (look and feel), page and site structure, and permissioning. Confluence scales from a single user to tens of thousands of users. It provides full web service interfaces (SOAP and XML-RPC) for your applications or scripts to remotely update content, manage users, or administer individual spaces.

Atlassian Bamboo
http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/
Smarter feedback, better code! Today's development teams are adopting continuous integration to increase productivity and improve code quality. By automatically compiling and testing code as it changes, Bamboo provides instant feedback for developers and allows quick collaboration.
- Despite being a widely accepted best practice, many teams struggle to adopt a continuous integration process due to the perceived cost of setting up and maintaining such an environment. With Bamboo, setting up your continuous integration process is simple. The installer auto-detects your development environment enabling you to start a build within minutes.
- Bamboo's two-way notifications and intuitive web-interface provide developers with the necessary information and simple navigation to interact with each build as well as manage the entire continuous integration process.

Atlassian FishEye
http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/
FishEye opens your source code repository and helps development teams keep tabs on what's going on. Track code changes, stay notified of commits via RSS, and search through the guts of your Subversion, CVS or Perforce repository - all from the comfort of the Web.
- FishEye gives your source code repository a simple Web interface. Developers can use FishEye to browse directly to a file or directory, traverse deep directory hierarchies quickly, and see visualizations of a branch history for an individual file.
- FishEye also gives you a simple way to report on activity in your Subversion, CVS or Perforce repository, turning your messy source code repository into a beautiful dashboard of meaningful charts and graphs. Use these to report on the activity of teams, the status of projects, and the detail of what's changed.

Atlassian Crucible
http://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/
Crucible is a code review tool that allows teams to review, edit, comment and record outcomes. Peer code review is an important component of successful agile development, but many teams find the process painful to implement. Crucible is the solution.
- Making it easy for every developer to engage with the code review process is key to implementing the practice. With one-click creation of reviews, teams quickly realise the value of the practice without worrying about the process. Participation in reviews is equally simple; just select a few lines and starting typing.
- Anything that disrupts the flow of development is perceived as a burden. And code reviews are no exception. Crucible allows developers to start a review directly from their IDE, any commit in FishEye, or any issue in JIRA, as well as the simple web UI. Email, RSS, and IM notifications relay instant feedback to developers who never have to leave their IDE to view or act upon any code review comments.

Atlassian Clover
http://www.atlassian.com/software/clover/
Improving test coverage with Clover throughout your development cycle is the key to finding bugs early and raising the quality of your code. Clover is the essential Java code coverage tool with test level insight, instant IDE feedback, interactive reports and now Test Optimization.
- Tired of waiting for all your tests to run every time you make the smallest of changes to your code? With Test Optimization, Clover automatically prioritises just the tests you need to run to cover the particular changes you made. Quicker and more frequent builds give you more confidence in your commits.
- Not sure where to start? Let Clover show you the way. Developing higher quality code is not just about increasing your test coverage percentage, but testing the things that matter most. Clover tracks cyclomatic complexity and per-test coverage data to help you identify your biggest project risks and focus your testing where it's needed most.

Soon after, Appfire had the pleasure of implementing the first public production deployment of Crowd v1.0 for one of our clients by integrating the utility with Confluence, Jive, Salesforce.com, and a custom suite of web-based utilities developed by our engineers.
Atlassian has recognized Appfire's accomplishments with their Crowd product by featuring a quote from Appfire's CTO in multiple prominent locations within the Crowd product website. Appfire was also recently selected to be featured within Atlassian's first public Crowd case study.
