There's no such company as Perforce Software. The name of the company is Perforce. Take a look at their press releases [1], about us pages, etc. --Cornellier (talk) 18:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

There doesn't seem to be a product anymore called Perforce Helix. It was renamed to Helix Core. I was going to rewrite and move the article so I looked up sources to figure out the timing of the name change, but couldn't find enough significant coverage to justify a standalone article. I'd like to take the infobox and some minimal general info and put it in a new section called Perforce Software#Helix Core, and add a redirect from here. Any thoughts from article watchers?

I'm proposing a merge from the Helix ALM article. That product used to be called TestTrack, and was developed by Seapine software. Seapine was bought by Perforce and is no more. If you remove the dead links and primary sources, you have almost nothing left. I already merged the important content, so this proposal is just asking whether the community agrees to turn this into a redirect. I had earlier done that but was reverted, in good faith by another editor who suggested I do a formal merge proposal. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 01:42, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thoughts Walter Görlitz and Codename Lisa? We seem to be the only ones here. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 03:39, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

I do not think that a section regarding Perforce Customers is necessary and seems to be a bit of an advertisement. It contributes very little, if anything. Odin Vex (talk) 14:15, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

A company/project/product cannot arbitrarily place a customer on their page. Lawyers love slamming down on that stuff. The customers have given explicit permission backed up by legalese to allow their names to be visible. I as a solutions architect performing due diligence on Perforce/Puppet appreciate the transparency. Mazzystr (talk) 17:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

Hi!

I'm a representative of Perforce Software and I noticed that several product names on this page are outdated. I’d like to kindly request that the names be updated to reflect the current, official version of our brand, which was updated in March.

We no longer use the “Helix” name in front of our products. Instead, we use “Perforce.”

Here's a breakdown of those changes as they relate to this page:

·      Helix Core → Perforce P4 (reference article)

·      Helix ALM → Perforce ALM (reference article)

·      Helix QAC → Perforce QAC

·      Helix Swarm → P4 Code Review

·      Helix TeamHub → Perforce TeamHub
