SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bamboo Solutions Corporation today announced a new model for Community-Driven Software and Commercial Product Development for Microsoft SharePoint. Bamboo’s Development Methodology provides users with a transfer of knowledge from Bamboo’s global user community while providing the dependability, quality, reliability, and support of Bamboo’s commercial software development infrastructure. With Bamboo’s model, 40 Web Parts and Solution Accelerators have been brought to market in the last two years. Currently, Bamboo is releasing two new products and two to three-point solutions each month. Bamboo is in booth 706 as a Gold Sponsor in Seattle at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center.

Bamboo has one of the world’s largest independent commercial software development teams operating globally and is focused completely on SharePoint.
