Telelogic Announces Scalable Enterprise Change Management Solution That Improves Productivity and Traceability
Telelogic announced Telelogic ChangeT 4.7, a Web-based and highly scalable software solution that provides problem tracking, change request and workflow management across the enterprise. Part of the company's overall application lifecycle management (ALM) solution set, Telelogic Change 4.7 allows stakeholders ranging from developers to quality professionals achieve better and more consistent results.
Telelogic Change 4.7 fills the need for a consistent, integrated problem tracking and change request management solution that is easy to use, yet able to meet the scalability requirements of large and complex organizations. Web-based and customizable, Change 4.7 is ready to use "out of the box" and has a low cost of ownership and implementation.
Telelogic Change 4.7 includes:
Proven Enterprise Change Processes - co-developed with Philips Applied Technologies, this out-of-the-box solution provides a low-risk, high-ROI process package for consistent change request and problem report management across the organization. It supports process initiatives such as CMMI and quality initiatives including ISO 9000 and has been successfully deployed to over 900 users across more than a dozen sites.
Functionality that promotes a more strategic approach to quality assurance (QA) - Historical data collection and reporting capabilities identify when defects were introduced, when they were found, how they will impact cost, quality and delivery, and where process improvement will have the most impact.
New integrations that support ALM, from requirements to code - Integration with Telelogic Focal PointT and Telelogic DOORS® FastrakT improves collaboration among stakeholders and allows large numbers of change requests and requirements from multiple stakeholders to be prioritized. This integration enables processes that are optimized for fast-paced development cycles, providing the most comprehensive ALM solution for all types of projects, from complex systems and software to agile development.
"The process and toolset now available as Change 4.7 Enterprise Change Process (ECP) are generic, robust and comprehensive, yet remain intuitive for the end-user and scalable to meet Change & Problem management demands of our development projects," said Wim Geerdink of Philips Applied Technologies. "After deployment we measured a significant improvement in change request throughput times as well as a reduction of effort spent on Change Management activities. This solution contributed to the successful passing of various audits, including CMM and KEMA. Over the years it has proven itself many times in various disciplines and sizes of projects, including multi-site projects." The process and toolset have also been adopted by other Philips divisions and companies.
"Change is inevitable, whether you are developing a product or implementing a new IT initiative. What matters most is how the information relating to change is shared, managed and used to further an organization's best interests," said Jesper Christensen, Executive Vice President, Change and Configuration Management Product Division, Telelogic. "With the latest version of Change, Telelogic provides an integrated change process and workflow that supports even the most rigorous process initiatives and governance rules. With this highly-scalable solution, organizations can share information about new requirements, problems and bugs in an integrated fashion that improves quality and reduces bottlenecks."
Telelogic Change 4.7 is available now.
