Our competition’s technology was designed and built over 12 years ago as team level tools, not as enterprise
platforms. While these vendors wish to evolve their architectures and offerings to scale agile, their customer
commitments to maintain existing tools with bottom-up design make it exceedingly difficult for them to evolve into
strategic top-down platforms that support all four levels of scale.

Our platform uniquely enables customers to keep and mix their existing team tools and
quality tools with full visibility across the enterprise. AgileCraft also offers best of breed team
and testing tools but does not force customers to migrate unless they desire to do so.
