Whenever software implementations exceed 90 days, the risk of user disappointment or project failure dramatically increases.

According to Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC), up to 70 percent of software implementations fail to meet their objectives. A configuration management CM software implementation can be particularly risky, especially if it is part of a much larger enterprise PDM or PLM architecture where data and processes must be integrated.

CMstat customers will not have that risk with our software applications EPOCH CM and EPOCH DM. By using our rapid implementation methodology, CMstat can deploy its CM and DM software products into production use in as little as 30 days. And all with no custom programming or extensive consulting time required. The drain on internal IT resources is kept to a bare minimum.

One of the biggest risk and cost factors of a configuration management or data management software implementation today is the time to customize the deep CM functionality, then configure the processes that CM users need, which are rarely provided within standard PDM or PLM software. We’ve removed those costs from the equation, as EPOCH CM and EPOCH DM are COTS products, fully functional and immediately usable upon installation.

Our COTS software has loads of flexibility built in, so Configuration and Data Managers have powerful tailoring capabilities such as changing field labels, adding fields, setting up automatic block numbering, and even editing our standard notification messaging at their fingertips.

Our CM software has been developed to follow industry standards with best practices built in, such as those promoted by CMPIC and CMII, as illustrated in these video recordings.

CMstat’s standard methodologies, developed through years of experience, are employed to reduce implementation time and put the EPOCH CM or EPOCH DM solution into production as quickly as possible with a fast ROI.

Our implementations are offered on a Fixed Price and Firm Schedule basis. Customers will know up front the cost, schedule, and resources required for a complete implementation.
