Meister Demos

View a Demo See how American Family Insurance implemented a secure, developer driven, build to deploy process using OpenMake Meister and CA SCM r12. This demo was presented at CA World 2010 and at the CA technologies Global Lifecycle User Group Quarterly meeting in September of 2010. This demo has an excellent example of how Meister can use parallel processing for speeding up the build to deploy step.

View a Demo Enterprise level .Net builds with Meister - Has your .Net application grown beyond a single Solution file? See how Meister extends MSBuild to execute cross solution and cross language compiles. This demo was presented to the internal Microsoft Team and shows a cross .Net Solution build and a Java build using TFS and Meister.

View a Demo Meister Continuous Integration with Subversion - Looking for Continuous Integration support? This demo will show you how Meister supports Continuous Integration using Microsoft .Net as the development tool and Subversion as the repository.
View a Demo Meister Continuous Integration with CA SCM and VS 2010 - Take a quick tour of Meister's Continuous Integration features in a Visual Studio 2010 development environment using CA SCM as the source repository.
View a Demo Establishing reuse within your Build System with Meister - This demo shows you how to go beyond simple Workflow management and start automating builds by generating reusable build scripts that require no manual coding.
View a Demo Multi-lingual Build and Release using VS 2010 with Meister - This demo shows how Meister extends the ALM features of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, TFS and TeamBuild to build Java and multi-platform applications.
View a Demo Configuring VM Lab Manager and HP Quality Center for a Meister Workflow - This demo shows you how to configure a Meister Workflow to call VM Lab Manager and HP Quality Center.
View a Demo Agile and Waterfall, supporting the best of both worlds. In this demo you will see how developers can use a continuous integration build and workflow, while production control leverages a standard approval process to support a production release.
View a Demo Building both Java and .Net using Visual Studio, TeamBuild and Meister - This 30 minute demo shows you how Meister leverages Microsoft MSBuild and Team Build to support the build of an application using both .Net and Java running on a Linux machine.
View a Demo Team Foundation Server and Meister - see how you can use Team Foundation Server and Meister to support Java Eclipse Builds.
View a Demo Improve your Continuous Integration with Meister's Pre-Commit Builds - This demo shows how Meister solves the Pre-Commit Build dilemma using Build Avoidance, Continuous Integration Build Scripts and Immediate Integration for accurate and fast pre-commit build processing.
View a Demo Meister, CA SCM and Agile See how you can use OpenMake Meister and CA SCM (r12) to implement agile methodologies including continuous integration builds.
View a Demo CA Change and Configuration Management - See how CA Change and Configuration Management and OpenMake Meister helps you maintain reliable services while safely managing changes.
View a Demo From Refactoring to Continuous Build - non-stop! - This demo shows you how to go from refactoring to building without manually updating build scripts before the Continuous Integration build executes.
View a Demo Building Multi-language applications using Visual Studio and Meister - This 2 minute demo shows you how Meister leverages the Microsoft Visual Studio technology to support multi-language builds.

What People are Saying

"Meister offers us increased productivity and quality  compared to manually controlled builds. Meister also completes the configuration management process through it's central build capabilities allowing Fortis to fully control all internal and external software assets within our fast evolving J2EE world.”  Matthias Pyck, Fortis Bank

"Meister provides us a standard rules-driven build process regardless of platform, compiler and operating system. We selected Meister because it is the only enterprise-wide build tool that can thoroughly support our mission-critical Java, C/C++, and .NET applications.”   Todd Athorp, Sr Programmer, FIS

"Next to documentation, build management is likely to be the least satisfying task a developer must address every day. A lot of software investment ends up in the time it takes to constantly tweak the make files needed to keep a system maintainable. Developers are looking for innovative solutions that will reduce software coding by a factor of five. Jim Duggan, Gartner

"OpenMake Meister drastically reduced the cost of supporting our builds.  Meister allowed our build team to increase the number of builds supported using only 1/2 the staff, configured across 100 remote build servers."   Production Control, Major US Bank

Customer Success Stories

100% Build to Deploy automation that is Developer Driven

See how American Family Insurance implemented a secure, developer driven, build to deploy process using OpenMake Meister and CA SCM r12. This demo was presented at CA World 2010 and at the CA technologies Global Lifecycle User Group Quarterly meeting in September of 2010. This demo has an excellent example of how Meister can parallelize the build to deploy process.

 

Meister added Transparency to the process...

"The implementation of Openmake Meister for build management allowed  BNSF to directly address one of their biggest challenges in the area of IT controls. This technology automated the team’s build processes, providing a  complete audit trail of changes, progression and approvals through each lifecycle stage. Finally, the implementation team used MKS Integrity Manager’s capabilities to manage the implementation itself." BNSF Technology Services Division - Learn More

Meister Standardized the compile process across the enterprise at UCLA ...

"UCLA's challenge was to standardize how builds and releases were processed, regardless of the development language used. OpenMake Meister provided this across the enterprise." University of Southern California, Production Control Team Lead - Learn More

 

Meister allowed for developers to be more efficient saving money and time...

"As a company who specializes in process improvement we look for the most efficient ways to manage changing resources and requirements. We found this quality in Openmake Meister. Meister has allowed us to improve our development process by providing a streamlined, agile and 100% transparent build environment across the application lifecycle." Chris Lank, Ivis President and CEO, VP Worldwide Sales, Togethersoft

Meister accelerated builds across multiple remote machines...

"OpenMake Meister drastically reduced the cost of supporting our builds.  Meister allowed our build team to increase the number of builds supported using only 1/2 the staff, configured across 100 remote build agents."   Production Control, Major US Bank

Meister added consistency across multiple languages...

"Meister provides us a standard rules-driven build process regardless of platform, compiler and operating system. We selected Meister because it is the only enterprise-wide build tool that can thoroughly support our mission-critical Java, C/C++, and .NET applications.”   Todd Athorp, Sr Programmer, FIS
