Microsoft Visual Studio Team Suite combines the functionality from all four Visual Studio Team System role-based editions (Team Editions for Architects, Developers, Database Professionals, and Testers) to offer a fully comprehensive development environment for multi-disciplined team members.
Sound architectural decisions are the key to project success. Visual Studio Team Suite provides powerful new visual designers for service-oriented solution modeling. These new visual designers increase productivity and help architects and operations managers make sound architectural decisions by validating their solutions against the operational environment early in the application life cycle.
The performance tools in Visual Studio Team Suite trace their technological roots back almost a decade to the labs of Microsoft Research. At that time, Microsoft Research was responsible for a set of performance tools that were created to help optimize products such as Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. These efforts produced the profiling and performance technologies that are now offered as part of Visual Studio Team System.
Visual Studio Team Suite provides a complete set of quality tools to help team members write better code, reduce security-related issues and avoid bugs and quality issues later in the development life cycle.
By reducing the risks involved in making database schema changes you can better control the integrity of your database throughout the development process. Visual Studio Team Suite provides the specific capabilities to help you reduce those risks, streamline changes, and take control of your database.
MICROSOFT OPEN VALUE
Microsoft Open Value is a premium volume licensing offer available under the Open License family. Designed for organizations with as few as five computers, Open Value offers simpler license tracking, greater control over the software upgrade cycle, and better software cost management.
Microsoft Open Value offers many benefits:
Track licenses more easily. Open Value provides a single agreement to track all licenses on all your desktops, run the same software version on all your PCs, upgrade to the next version at any time, or run a mix of software versions without having to track what is deployed on each desktop.
Gain control of your upgrade cycle. Open Value grants you the rights to run any version of the licensed software and to upgrade at any time, when it is most convenient for you.
Budget more effectively and save money. Open Value offers predictable annual payments, so you can make better informed decisions about what IT projects need to happen each year. In addition, volume pricing helps stretch software budgets further than retail purchase options.
Spread payments. Open Value lets you spread your software costs over three annual payments so you can more effectively manage your software budget and get the software you need now.
SOFTWARE ASSURANCE
Microsoft's Software Assurance gives you automatic access to new technology and provides productivity benefits, support, tools, and training to help deploy and use software efficiently.
With Software Assurance, you receive access to new versions of licensed software released during the term of your agreement to deploy at your own pace. New Version Rights simplifies the procurement process and shortens the business process cycle, allowing you to reduce the costs associated with acquiring new version releases and immediately take advantage of the latest technology.
