Manage your IT development

Cimera is central to the success of IT development. Disparate data is costly, yet a typical development organisation manages its information in a variety of formats in a number of different locations. For example, you might have your change requests held as Word documents, project registers recorded in Access and risk logs maintained in Excel spreadsheets. This can make information hard to find at crucial times. Often it will be duplicated and copies will become out of date. Relationships between pieces of information cannot be reliably made and traceability or impact assessment becomes akin to archaeology.

How Cimera can help

		A single point for storing and accessing information, held securely and with a full audit trail of changes
		Create and manage relationships between the logically related items
		Assign lifecycles to manage and track items from start to finish
		Integrates with existing systems (such as automated test, helpdesk and SCM tools), making the data held within those systems available via Cimera
		Supports workflow - items that require different actions at different stages automatically assigned to the relevant person
		Easily explore the relationships between items to assess the impact of changes
		Find anything in seconds with Google-style full text searching of items and attachments
		A central repository, with rich functionality, customisable to your specific needs, accessible locally, across a LAN or even across the Internet, with robust security
		Meta-data driven design and plug-in architecture for extensive control over the information that it manages and the functionality that it provides.
