Perforce Case Study: Trolltech

Overview Founded in 1994, Trolltech is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with offices in Brisbane, Australia; Palo Alto, California; and Beijing, China. In 1999, Trolltech realized it needed to replace its existing software configuration management system, CVS, because CVS was unable to scale to meet its development needs. The Perforce Server sits at the core of the development process of its two product lines: Qt and Qtopia, and is used daily to manage access to more than 300,000 versioned files, track the user operations, and record all related activity in a centralized database.
