KollabNet announces support for top-down and bottom-up requirement-capture and-management, ensuring consistency throughout product lifecycle

Lancaster, PA, 6/8/04 - KollabNet Inc. announced today that its enterprise software product captures and manages product requirements top-down and bottom-up. "We work the way the customer works," said Igal Kaptsan, KollabNet's VP of product engineering. "We've made it a primary goal to make the user's life easier with our products."

Links are at the heart of KollabNet’s DesignMap™ approach. “We provide the engineer with a point-and-click approach to capturing requirements and relationships within the design process,” says Kaptsan. “The DesignMap™ augments the engineer’s memory—and helps him or her keep track of enormous detail, with little effort.”

"KollabNet's approach results in a unique benefit: The effect of requirements is propagated throughout the design-to-production-to-deployment cycle," said Dr. Joel Orr, VP of business development. "Consistency is thus dynamically monitored, and inconsistencies are immediately flagged for fixing."

KollabNet's enterprise approach guarantees that the project's original requirements are respected all the way through the project--and when there are deviations, the rationale for them is captured. "Nothing else available offers this capability," adds Orr.

KollabNet, Inc. produces Knowledge Accounting™ software for manufacturing enterprises. Our systems automate conceptual design, capture requirements and knowledge, and preserve and propagate “best practices” for continuous improvement. And engineers love to use them!
