InnerWorkings Codebox

At its best, software development is a social and collaborative activity among tightly knit teams. But members of most software teams could be forgiven for asking the following questions – why is it so easy to search the Web, but I can’t search my own source control management (SCM) system? Why can I follow, share, and collaborate with friends using social networks, but I can’t do the same with my software colleagues?

We created InnerWorkings Codebox to answer these questions. Codebox is a code search and collaboration platform that leverages the existing code, knowledge, and experience within your software organization. It uses a social networking model to connect all the key constituents in your software teams – architects, developers, and testers – allowing them to share code, knowledge, opinions, and insights.

It has long been recognized that a company’s source code is a vital company asset – you invest heavily in developing and maintaining your code base. Yet valuable code solutions are used once and stored in the depths of your SCM system, with no available search or reference tools to locate them.

Codebox is designed to leverage your source code asset at every possible opportunity. It lets your developers find, categorize, and add context to all code housed in your repository, extending its lifetime value to the organization.

With Codebox, our goal is to transform software development from a solitary endeavor into a social, collaborative experience within your software organization. Check out our free Codebox trial or contact us to setup a live Codebox demo.
