	VIEW NOW		Organizational Benefits of OpenMake Meister Presented by Matt Laudato In this presentation, Matt Laudato, Director of Customer Solutions at OpenMake Software, discusses how selecting and implementing OpenMake Meister for build automation and continuous integration benefits a development organization. The key benefits are: Standardization Productivity through knowledge sharing Project Security Comprehensive audit control The presentation also provides a brief technical introduction to Meister to highlight how these business benefits derive from the Meister technology. Executives, directors and managers will learn how to control costs, improve development predictablity and implement organization-wide standards using OpenMake Meister as their build and workflow automation solution.
	VIEW NOW		A Tale of Four Builds: Towards a Managed Build Process Aired October 21st Presented by Matt Laudato In this webinar, Matt Laudato, Director of Customer Solutions at OpenMake Software, will demonstrate how to build a C++ application using four different build technologies. Along the way, he’ll explore the pros and cons of each technology and present the final Build Scorecard to tally the results. The technologies shown will be: Manual build – Nant IDE build – Visual Studio Workflow script execution – Nant executed by an OpenMake Mojo workflow Controlled – Fully automated dependency analysis and script generation with OpenMake Meister The progression of builds moves from purely manual, error prone processes towards fully automated and controlled builds. This webinar will be of interest to anyone whose role includes either hands-on build work or managing the build process. Learn how a managed build process delivers repeatability, automation, acceleration and auditability.
	VIEW NOW		Smart Builds for Fast Continuous Integration Presented by Steve Taylor, CTO, OpenMake Software. (Aired on September 3, 2009) So you’ve decided to pursue a more agile approach to software development and are now faced with the challenge of retrofitting your old procedures into a new leaner methodology. What you must recognize in agile development is that the processes that once took you several days or weeks to complete will now need to be compressed into a time frame that is as short as a single source code check-in. In other words, speed, accuracy and consistency have never been more important. Smart builds are the answer. This webinar will focus on the challenges developers face in supporting the software compile and link step of the continuous integration process. Improving and accelerating your compile and link process is the core component of your continuous integration efforts and should not be ignored. Your old process for executing compiles will no doubt impede your efforts in CI builds. A new way of managing and automating your software compiles is absolutely necessary. Learn how you can create "smart" builds that will improve the continuous integration process with OpenMake Meister. Download the Webinar PDF
	VIEW NOW		Get the low down on OpenMake Mojo and Meister 7.3 Presented by Steve Taylor, CTO OpenMake Software (Aired on July 29th, 2009) Accelerated software compiles for Java and C/C++, extended support of MyEclipse, Apache, Jboss, Weblogic and Eclipse C/C++, enhanced continuous integration features, integrations to new ALM tools, and a brand new web management console are just a few of the new features you will enjoy in Openmake Mojo, Mojo Max and Meister 7.3. Join Steve Taylor, CTO of OpenMake Software for a review of our 7.3 release and see for yourself how both build and workflow automation combined with continuous integration provides a 100% complete build to release management solution.
	VIEW NOW		Build Automation - Catch the Next Wave in Agile Methods Presented by Steve Taylor, CTO OpenMake Software Achieving the ten minute build is critical for agile methods. But how real is this goal? Learn about the next wave in Agile methods build automation. Build automation goes beyond workflow automation to accelerate builds for Java and C/C++, improve the pre-commit process and eliminate broken continuous integration builds. This webinar will show you how to use build automation to deliver consistency, speed and accuracy for your agile methods. This webinar will be useful for project managers, developers and project directors who are looking for software methods to improve developer efficiency and product quality in order to meet deadlines and beat budgets. Topics will include achieving 10 minute builds using Build Avoidance technology, pre-commit processing and accelerating java and c/c++ builds through parallelization.
	VIEW NOW		Best Practices for Delivering More with Less with Reduced Budgets and Time Presented by Tracy Ragan, COO, OpenMake Software and Cliff Utstein, Vice President of Marketing, AccuRev This webinar, co-produced with AccuRev, covers how software development executives and engineering managers can do more with less by automating redundant tasks and eliminate the need for time consuming, expensive, error-prone manual processes. The ultimate success of any development organization is their ability to commit to and deliver on more projects in a given time period without increasing staffing levels. This webinar will show you how to determine the ROI from your current process and give you insight as to where redundancies may exist.

	VIEW NOW		Improving your Continuous Integration process with Meister's pre-commit builds Presented by Tracy Ragan, COO, OpenMake Software and Matt Gabor, Sr. Software Engineer, OpenMake Software If you find your Continuous Integration build process breaking all too frequently, you may need to improve your methods for managing local or "pre-commit" builds. Learn how OpenMake Meister supports 'pre-commit' builds using an agile method of managing source code dependency directories, build avoidance and continuous build script technology.

	VIEW NOW		Take your build workflow to the next level with Meister Build Mashups Presented by Tracy Ragan, COO, OpenMake Software This webinar will cover how Meister improves your software development by automatically synchronizing the point and click build done inside your IDE with the builds executing outside your IDE.

	VIEW NOW		Agile SCRUM, XP, and Traditional Software Change & Build Management - Presented by CA Presented by Steve Solomon, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, CA, Tracy Ragan, COO, OpenMake Software and Tom Kingkade, Sr. SCM Architect, SCM Solutions In this webcast you will learn how to manage a fast and flexible software change management process based on CA Software Change Manager r12 and OpenMake Meister. CA Software Change Manager (CA SCM) r12 provides Release Management with Agility which is a revolutionary new product based on CA Harvest Change Manager's industrial strength SCM Engine. When CA SCM and OpenMake Meister are paired they become the dynamic duo of change and build management in either a waterfall, agile or both environment.

	VIEW NOW		Binary Management: The Next Logical Step in Software Builds Presented by Tracy Ragan, COO OpenMake Software and Mark Dickenson CA Understanding build management starts with understanding binary management. In order to manage builds, workflow is only the fist step. This webinar will explain the importance of managing binaries in your build process in order to achieve maturity in your build to release process.

	VIEW NOW		Is Your Software Development Environment Agile-Ready? Presented by Tracy Ragan, COO OpenMake Software and Matt Laudato Technical Marketing Manager, AccuRev Agile means faster delivery of quality software, significantly improved project visibility, and better alignment between business and IT organizations. Agile development processes, with their emphasis on frequent, continuous integration builds, shortened release cycles, and flexible process models, put an increased demand on build and change management tools. By identifying tools that support these features, software development teams can assure that their development environment is not only suitable for Continuous Integration and Agile processes, but assists in implementing best practices throughout the development organization.

	VIEW NOW		Utam Narsu on best of breed ALM tools Presented by CM Crossroads, AccuRev and OpenMake Software Uttam Narsu, former Giga/Forester Analyst and ALM expert, explains how to use best-of-breed SCM and Build Tools to make the development process more flexible and efficient.
