OpenTask chooses The Perforce SCM System for Publishing Configuration Management

Publishing technical books is very similar to iterative and incremental software development. The number of generated, edited and modified publishing artifacts is growing with the expansion of back and front lists. Such pressures require careful configuration management. We are happy to choose Perforce Software product for our publishing model.
