Abstract: A server hosting system and method of connecting to managed servers using IPsec are disclosed. The server hosting system includes a plurality of managed servers, and first and second secure communication appliances. The first secure communication appliance is configured to connect to a tenant appliance at a first tenant using an IPsec tunnel, and further configured to route data between a first managed server of the plurality of managed servers and the tenant appliance at the first tenant. The second secure communication appliance is configured to connect to a tenant appliance at a second tenant using an IPsec tunnel, and further configured to route data between a second managed server of the plurality of managed servers and the tenant appliance at the second tenant.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to send notification to members in a project management system. A notification list and information are created for a project. The notification list and information are stored in a repository. A notification request is received from a component in the project management system. The notification request is processed at run-time using the notification list and information.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to interface to a repository. A connection between a client and a repository database is established. The repository database has a repository application programming interface (API). The repository database contains objects related to a project management process. The repository API is communicated with to perform an operation based on parameters passed from the client via the connection. A return value associated with the operation is returned to the client.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to synchronize data between a data store and a project management client tool. An element in a project file is updated according to an event generated by a project tool in a client. A server is communicated by a request to request synchronization of the element. The server has a data store which contains an object corresponding to the element. The request is processed to synchronize the element with the object in the data store.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to automate document review in a project management tool. The review information on a document review is stored in a repository. The document review is associated to a project in a project management system. The document review is processed using the review information. A notification of the document review is sent.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium causes a computer to operate as a server for managing the development of software by a software development team. Stored on this computer-readable medium is a computer program which includes an object module and a software development tool integration module. The object module performs operations on a linked object structure which represents a software development project. The software development tool integration module has one interface which interacts with the object module and has another interface which interacts over a communication network with personal computer for the software development team.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium causes a computer to operate as a server for managing the development of software by a software development team. Stored on this computer readable medium is a computer program which includes an object module and a process execution module. The object module performs operations on a linked object structure that represents a software development project. The process execution module has one interface that interacts with the object module and has another interface that interacts over a communication network with personal computers of the team members. By this interaction, the phases of each project are started in a non-fixed, non-predictable sequence by—1) sensing when all the tasks, that are represented by an entry set of CRITERIALIST_ITEM objects, are completed, and 2) sending a notice to begin the phase of the project which is related to the one entry set.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium causes a computer to operate as a server for managing the development of software by a software development team. Stored on this computer-readable medium is a computer program which includes an object module and a software project definition module. The object module instantiates a linked object structure that represents a software development project. The software project definition module has one interface that interacts with the object module and has another interface that interacts over a communication network with personal computers for the software development team. By this interaction, customized objects and customized links are instantiated in the linked object structure.
