Sanjiva Nath’s Experience

Founder & CEO

zAgile Inc.

(Computer Software industry)

September 2006 — Present (3 years 3 months)

zAgile is the leader and pioneer of Software Information Management (SIM), the software sector dedicated to integrating and managing information associated with all phases and aspects of the software engineering lifecycle. The SIM segment is tangentially related to, but fully not addressed by: ALM (Application Lifecycle Management), SCM (Software Configuration Management), Wikis, content management, collaboration tools, and other segments. zAgile products provide cohesion, collaboration, and confidence to software projects.

zAgile offers solutions to geographically distributed engineering teams, to harness and maximize their teams’ synergies in a way that has not been possible until now. zAgile significantly reduces costs of collaboration on projects, instills consistency of methodologies across all projects, and instills confidence and predictability on software delivery schedules.
