The aim of the VLBI Analysis Software Comparison Campaign 2015 (VASCC2015) was to compare different VLBI analysis software packages on the basis of computed theoretical delays. Eleven research groups and institutes participated in this project, which allowed us to compare software packages that are used in operational VLBI analyses or that are still under development. We present the first results, and we show how well the individual software packages agree at this stage.
