THE ONLY CMII-CERTIFIED SCM SUITE, CM+ ENTERPRISE, STIRS INTEREST AT CMII WORLD.

Attendees opened their eyes wide at the CM+ Enterprise presentations of Neuma's CMII Profile at this year's CMII World Conference, the 21st annual CMII Users Group conference. Users were impressed by the level and ease of customization capability, and even moreso by the "go-there" instant traceability available from virtually any information panel: dashboards, graphs, gantt charts, tabular summaries and data panels. Today Neuma shipped the first release of the CMII Profile and announced it is taking orders for immediate shipping.

CMII World. Orlando, FL. Neuma announced today the shipment of the first CM+ Enterprise product with its CMII Profile, coinciding with the first public showing of the product at the CMII World 2008 conference in Orlando, Florida. For the first time, software and hardware teams can work together using the same process, the same terminology and even the same tools.

The CMII Profile was packaged with a subset of Neuma's CM+ 7.0 Enterprise Edition tool suite, the full 7.0 release scheduled for later this quarter. CMII, developed by the CMII Research Institute and delivered internationally through the Institute of Configuration Management (ICM), is a process for ensuring that design and requirement information remain valid while driving change to a product.

Many of the CM+ 7.0 features are critical to the CMII Profile. Dynamic dashboards, which are role oriented, help present users with all of the information they require to execute their tasks. A role-based user interface makes CM+ more intuitive and helps guide users through their work items. As well, the CMII Profile comes with CMII guidance for all roles, actions, and CMII entities, as well as providing work flow and state-transition documentation and business rules to ensure successful conformance to the CMII process.

More advanced features include instant traceability to all information of the Impact Matrix for each Enterprise Change Request (ECR) and to the Consolidated Impact Matrix of an Engineering Change Notice (ECN). Using dynamic dashboards, Review Boards can navigate through CRB and CIB meeting agendas, and the impact matrices of the ECRs and ECNs under review, integrating the tool into the meeting place. “In an age of collaboration and global development, the CMII Profile represents a significant enhancement to the powerful CM+ tool suite, making the CMII process available, at last, to software development environments.” noted Rick St. Germain, a CMII Professional and frequent speaker at CMII World conferences.

The CMII community has been eagerly awaiting tools using the CMII process to manage software development. That day has arrived, as SCM technology leader Neuma Technology introduces its CMII-certified, CM+ Enterprise CMII Profile solution.
