EPOCH DM is a highly-focused best-in-class CDRL management tool application for supporting the operational needs of the Project Manager, Contract Manager, Data Manager, and Data Clerk working in the program office, engineering services, finance, procurement, quality, and compliance organizations.

These professionals seek real-time visibility and reliable tracking of the status of all the data deliverables associated with their projects, including schedules and workflow tasks. They also desire to maintain an auditable history of all changes, notifications, correspondence, approvals, rejections, resubmissions, and final dispositions related to contract data deliverables.

A few of the most important workflow applications that users have from a CDDM solution like EPOCH DM include:

Locate and collect data deliverables from different organizations, repositories and formats, and with their relationships and history retained
Identify and categorize then reconcile any missing, incomplete, duplicate, incorrect, or obsolete data
Create and populate customer-specified documents such as CDRLs and SDRLs
Perform on-line review, updating, and approval of documentation
Submit data and documents for approval and manage the process
Track transmittals between contractors and customers, and from sub-contractors to primes, with history preserved
Ensure compliance and protection of ITAR, confidential, proprietary, and IP data
Verify submittals, corrections, and rejections from contractors and subcontractors

Re-plan and monitor cascading work assignments which must be repeated due to use of incorrect or obsolete data
Notify internal users or external customers of schedule changes, cost irregularities, or project delays
