KollabNet Office
enables you to link Microsoft Word
and Microsoft Excel objects to
KollabNet DesignMaps. KollabNet
Office lets the requirements
document link to the engineering
parameters, so that you never lose
the connection - and keep track of
the what, when, why, and who of
every change. This is important to
your "bottom line":
Benefits
-
You maintain
accountability to your
customers' requirements, so that
you never disappoint a customer
-
You don't lose
or miss any requirements, and
have to explain why later, or
retrofit a solution--and deal
with the cost and delay of
rework
-
You maintain a
full "graphical audit trail" of
changes, eliminating the cost of
separate documentation for
regulatory compliance
-
You can use
familiar tools, like Microsoft
Excel, to make sure that
critical parameters remain
within predetermined limits--and
thus reduce the number of design
iterations, shortening time to
market
Features
Most engineers spend the bulk of
their computer time in office

Office provides plug-in toolbars for
these applications, making it
possible to:
-
Easily capture
and link to more than one
requirement at a time
-
Customize the
naming of requirements
-
Flag linked
expressions
-
Parse phrases
for numbers and units
-
Connect to
Excel's powerful computation
capabilities, for arithmetic and
logical data manipulation;
testing and validation;
time-based calculations;
charting; and more
