Martin Nally of IBM speaks about the changing business models around software creation. There are more outsourcing and co-sourcing arrangements, as well as more development teams that collaborate from different countries. These partnerships create challenges including how to manage communication between teams that are distributed around the world, and how to manage deliverables and contracts across the different partners. Rational products offers tools like source code management systems and requirements management tools to help maintian the integrity of these collaborations.
