Perforce Software announced today that SD Times which annually recognizes the leaders and innovators of the software development industry, has named Perforce Software to its 2008 SD Times Top 100. As a system that “can track all aspects of development, from beginning to end,” according to SD Times editors, Perforce is included in the Application Life-Cycle Management (ALM) category.

“Being recognized for providing innovation and leadership in ALM is particularly significant. This affirms our steadfast belief that SCM is the cornerstone of ALM and Perforce enables companies to create their own best-of-breed solution,” commented chief operating officer of Perforce Software, Nigel Chanter.

Each year BZ Media’s SD Times recognizes those companies, organizations and individuals that during the past calendar year most broadly "set the agenda" for software development managers, developers, and the industry through leadership and innovation.
