Product-change manager sets up fast, works across enterprise

Release 3 of eChange Solutions now lets distributed product teams collaborate effectively to bring new products to market, manage continuous product improvements, and meet unique customer requirements. R3 joins departments, supply-chain partners, and customers to form an e-business community that drives product change across the extended enterprise.

Implementing R3 can be as quick as three weeks. The change manager provides 80% of what companies need and templates allow adding the customized 20%.

New features include enhanced abilities to assign tasks and route product-change information using the Internet. Configuration-management capabilities such as advanced-configuration comparison and impact analysis allow judging the impact of changes. And supply-chain partners can be included in change processes without specialized software.
