Effective Configuration Management is key to
successful systems development and maintenance

Are your Configuration Management efforts viewed as a nuisance by other organizations? … Is CM an after-the-fact step in the development life cycle? … Does CM seem to take twice the effort that it should?

Wouldn’t you like …

• Your team to always be working with the latest version of the system and knowing what it includes as the development evolves?
• An embedded change control process that promotes communication and collaboration among organizations?
• Your products created from a controlled environment that ensures they can be reproduced?
• Customers making complimentary remarks about how they always know what they are getting?

Teragon Consulting offers a variety of CM services that will help you consistently produce reliable products through the development and effective application of processes and procedures. Our CM services are focused on controlling specification documentation and hardware configurations, and working closely with other groups to improve the entire development process.

The publication of specifications often involves importing data from requirements databases, modeling tools, spreadsheets, graphics et al., and integrating them with the plain text which is usually maintained in the publication tool itself. Hardware configurations also include a variety of artifacts such as, engineering drawings, parts lists, and engineering records.

In many cases effective CM will need to control not only these diverse data sets but also the tools, processes and procedures used in creating the product configurations. It is not a simple scenario.

With Teragon’s help you can:

• Create a CM environment that ensures control in the establishment and modification of baselines using proven CM practices.
• Manage your change process that exercises disciplined control over proposed changes to baselines.
• Build and deliver products in which both you and your customer have confidence.
• Integrate change processing into requirements and engineering tools, provide timely and focused change impact reports, and streamline reviews.
