- CMstat is a true COTS (commercial, off-the-shelf) solution containing hundreds of pre-programmed Configuration Management rules and pre-programmed data relationships to ensure data integrity.
- Identification, Status Accounting, Impact Assessment, Traceability and Audit form the foundation of Configuration Management, and the basis of the CMstat system.
- Create, manage and associate Bills of Material, Product Baselines, As-Designed, As-Built, and As-Maintained configurations.
- The Configuration Item Module refines the task of managing complex products allowing you identify and track unique items - life limited parts, high dollar value, HazMats, etc. Product structures may be broken down by Configuration Item for ease of design, manufacturing and maintenance.
- Easily associate objects such Documents, Item/Parts, Contracts, Projects, Requirements with the necessary Many-to-Many, One-to-Many, Many-to-One relationship support.
- CMstat provides you maximum control and flexibility for managing your products and suppliers.
