Cognizant Technology Solution Corporation, an
application outsourcer providing software development and management
services, announced a suite of project management tools design to measure
and monitor project status, enhance customer communications and streamline
workflow on client engagements. The tools will standardize the essential
elements of communication for any given project so that team members can
immediately identify problems and keep the level of service and software
performance high.
Project management tools such as these are essential to maintain high
quality and quick time-to-market delivery in a highly dynamic and fast
paced IT environment. The applications which includes Metrics Cockpit,
OWL, Change Request Manager (CRM) and Project Manager (PM), provide onsite
and offshore project managers and developers with up-to-date detailed
information on the status of software development and maintenance
projects. The tools are most useful in generating client specific reports,
providing ongoing business analysis, facilitating decision support and
responding to problems in a timely manner. "The fact that cognizant
has created unique project management methodologies illustrates its strong
commitment to delivering high quality, on time service," commented
HealthPlan Services Vice President - Information Services, Dennis J.
Prysner.
"They build on a strong heritage of quality assurance, which has
been already acknowleged with our SEI-CMM Level 4 certification,"
said Cognizant Technology Solutions President and CEO Lakshmi Narayanan.
