Achieve Greater Collaboration, Visibility, and Productivity with Process Automation and Workflow Management

Process and workflow management has never been more important to application development. Businesses today are seeking greater levels of agility and collaboration in their development efforts in order to meet compliance demands, get more products to market faster, reduce costs, and to ensure the highest levels of software quality. However, even the most sophisticated of organizations rely on manual processes, hindering their ability to move forward in an efficient manner. The software development lifecycle in particular is one that has demonstrated proven rewards as processes are automated, repeatable and standardized. This is where process and workflow management software is crucial and invaluable for streamlining and improving results.

Process automation and workflow management with MKS Integrity software ensures repeatability, reliability and traceability across your organization thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency and productivity. Whether your organization is trying to meet strict CMMI, SPICE or ISO compliance requirements, is following a traditional development approach or is looking to adopt Agile methodologies, MKS Integrity for Process and Workflow Management is a unique software product that supports and enforces any process, no matter how relaxed or rigid.

MKS Integrity can help with process automation and enforcement, providing answers to real business challenges:

• Do you have timely fact-based information feeding your decision-making process?
• Did you pass your last process assessment and audit?
• Are teams following documented, reliable and repeatable software development processes?
• Can your development teams keep pace with aggressive product schedules and competitive pressures?

“Change management enables the various participants in the
development process to assign and report on work, communicate status
and capture important aspects of the design, development and test management processes about the underlying software artifacts.
These functions become more important as development speed increases, teams from multiple physical locations collaborate and the volume of artifacts to manage increases.”
