  • Nexus Professional - Essential Repository Management
    • Sonatype Professional Suite increases individual/team productivity as well as reduces business risk.
    • Most projects use software components as building blocks in application development. These building blocks, referred to as artifacts, are best obtained from Maven repositories, because these repositories store binary artifacts together with metadata to describe dependencies, licensing and locations of source code.
    • Nexus Professional is the industry leading repository manager that helps companies acquire, manage, and report on software artifacts in their software development projects.
    • Companies that need an efficient infrastructure for using software artifacts while developing, building and releasing software. If you are just getting started, you can learn more about repository management by working with open source Nexus. If you are working in an enterprise setting, we have designed Nexus Professional to meet your more rigorous needs.
    • To avoid the quality, security and compliance problems that result when a project does not have a good process for managing software artifacts. Read the datasheet to see how Nexus Professional can work for your team today.
