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
