Key Differentiators

An integrated solution for all asset and service management -- Unlike competitors who are unable to manage all asset classes in the enterprise along with service management from a single, unified platform.

Upgradeability: user configurations are kept intact when upgrading -- Unlike competitors where customizations do not upgrade and where upgrades from one to the next version require a rip-and-replace of the system.

Flexible, easy to configure, no coding with Database Configuration and Application Design tools -- Unlike competitors where customizations require manual development coding work and are not done on the fly.

Based on leading standards-based technology: web-architected platform built on J2EE with advanced business process management, based on SOA, web services and XML -- Unlike competitors whose solutions are based on older, proprietary technology that does not integrate well.

Built from the ground-up on the ITIL framework -- Unlike competitive solutions that are retrofitted to align with ITIL.
