EyeQ is cool and innovative. And now it has been proved by SoftwareCEO Innovation Awards lately. SourceKibitzer EyeQ service has been chosed into the finalists in the category "Most Innovative Software for the Software Industry".
Let's see if we can win this award. Award winners will be announced at the Software Marketing Perspectives conference this May in Santa Clara, California. Looking forward to that.
It is so cool to see your product discovered by specialists. This time it was Gordon Graham from SoftwareCEO, who conducted tips & tactics column for outsourcer.

We are very glad and excited here in SourceKibitzer. Today we are announcing the
next milestone in the development of the EyeQ - the LITE version of
the service. We wanted the key metrics and indicators like developers know-how, contribution size to be easily available for any company doesn't matter what its size, budget or business model is And we think EyeQ LITE can really help us with that vision.
It's better priced, simpler, and supports almost any technology.
It is always free for first 5 users. Meaning if you have only 5 developers you can start using the tool and never pay for the service.
Reports are simpler. We have left only the most important personal indicators in the reports.
The price is really low. The monthly fee is just 20 EUR per developer. So there is no more need to fight with the cash-holder in your company to make him buy the EyeQ lite.
You are allowed to publish generated reports on the web or your intranet without any restrictions. If you want we can even publish you team reports on "the wall of fame" on our website
Limitation 1. Unlike the full version, EyeQ LITE monitors the development of only one code branch. It is totally up to you to choose the monitored branch. We suggest you to take integration branch like trunk in Subversion or HEAD in CVS - in most of the cases it would mean the most important work of your team.
Limitation 2. The lite version is only offered as a hosted
service. But isn't it great for you? You don't have to install or administrate anything related to the service. You just keep doing your work and SourceKibitzer will do all team monitoring work for you.
