What our users say about TeamCompanion

  • TeamCompanion brings even more 'team-ness' into Team System. By tying Outlook and Desktop Search with TFS, TeamCompanion bridges the collaboration of stakeholder and development worlds. It’s a great idea.

    Sam Guckenheimer
    Group Product Planner, Visual Studio Product Line

  • Collaboration is the heart of a Team's success. TeamCompanion has done a brilliant job at bringing together the power of Team System and Outlook. TeamCompanion is a MUST HAVE for every Team Foundation user - its just that simple!

    Joel Semeniuk
    RD, Team System MVP

  • A must-have tool for everyone who works heavily with Work Items in TFS. Finally you have e-mail and work item communication in one tool and you can use Outlooks rich grouping and searching capabilities to organize your work items as well.

    Neno Loje
    Visual Studio ALM MVP

  • We are very happy we found this tool from Ekobit. It is the perfect solution, as it solves many problems, starting with the missing HTML feature (that even TFS 2010 did not solve). It beautifully integrates e-mail and Outlook with Team Foundation Server and that makes TeamCompanion the single best thing you can do to improve your project communication with developers and clients.

  • My job, like many others, require me to use both Outlook and Team Foundation Server. Team Companion breaks down the walls between Outlook and TFS, by providing a nice, seamless integration. To put it simply, it saves me time … several times a day. Love it!

    Gregg Boer
    Principal Program Manager, TFS, Work Item Tracking

  • I have used TeamCompanion 3.0 for about three months now and it has made my interaction with TFS much more productive and pleasant. My favorite feature is the ability to customize the query view in Outlook. For example, I have the view for the “My Work Items” query grouped by state and type. This hierarchal view gives me a better overview of my work items as compared to a flat display. I also like the way TeamCompanion allows me to create and run queries for work items. I personally find query creation more intuitive in TeamCompanion as compared to Visual Studio 2010. I am looking forward to the new agile project management features in Team Companion 4.0.

    Tech Lead, Dell, Services

  • Part of my job is to train other project managers on how to use TFS, the first thing I tell every one of them to do, is buy TeamCompanion. Its seamless integration with Outlook, Excel and Project saves me precious time each and every day. From creating work items directly from email requests, to creating Outlook appoints directly from a TFS Work Item, to sending the results of a query to an Outlook email, TeamCompanion is the missing link between TFS and Outlook. I saw ROI on TeamCompanion after just 1 day!

Case Studies

KDD uses TeamCompanion and TFS

Established in 1995, Central Securities Clearing Corporation Ljubljana (hereinafter referred to as KDD d. d.) provides central securities custody services, clearance and settlement of securities transactions and maintenance of the central registry of holders of dematerialized securities in Slovenia. KDD's founders and shareholders are banks, stockbroking firms, fund management companies, government funds and issuers. The company's key issue before this implementation was the lack of an automated development process. The lack of a unified development environment and appropriate tools reduced the productivity and efficiency of the entire development team. The new solution - a combination of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Team Foundation Server 2010 and TeamCompanion, provided by KDD’s partner Ekobit d.o.o. – ensures that KDD now uses a standardized and optimized Application Lifecycle Management platform. — Read full case study (PDF, 157 KB)
