Kovair Software Unveils Kovair Global Lifecycle Release 6.0

Kovair Software, a developer and supplier of Enterprise Class Application Life Cycle Management (ALM) and IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions, announced today the immediate availability of the Release 6.0 of their flagship product of Kovair Global Lifecycle. The same product is available for both On-Premise deployment as well as SaaS offering.

"Kovair Global Lifecycle 6.0 is the most comprehensive and advanced version of the Kovair Global Lifecycle product to date. It has been re-architected from the ground up for multi-tenancy for SaaS, multi browser capabilities, better Navigation and very friendly UI," said Bipin Shah, CEO and Chairman of Kovair. "With various new functionalities and enhancements, I am sure that we now offer the most comprehensive ALM and ITSM solutions in the market."

Kovair Global Lifecycle 6.0 offers the new and enhanced functionalities in the following areas:

New UI and Multi-Browser Support

The redesign of the UI was driven by three factors: Ease of Navigation with on the fly configurations, Support of multiple Browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome) replacing ActiveX by Flash and usage of Ajax to provide the best interactivity for any Browser based applications available in the market.

Graphical Visualizer

One of the major themes of new functionality is 'Visualization and Graphical Editor.' The most visible of the visualization features is Kovair's brand new 'Dashboard with Drill-down Capability.' A brand new graphic editor enables one to visualize and manipulate the relations among various items in a network diagram. The other new graphic diagramming tool is to visualize the version mapping of an item.

Document and Traceability Views

The next important new categories of features are in enabling users to view lists of items in various useful ways. The first such view is known as 'Document View.' This view lists the rich text descriptions of a set of selected items (for example Requirements) in a continuous format like a document. Another new view, taking advantage of Kovair's powerful Traceability Relation features, is the 'Traceability View.'

Process Enhancements

One the most fundamental changes in Kovair 6.0 were achieved in the area of Kovair's industry leading Process Engine. Now for each entity, multiple processes may be defined (e.g. separate Review/ Approval and Change processes for Requirements Management), each can be versioned independently. Some new custom field types are introduced including Autonumber, Image, File, HTML, XML, Email and Log. These make Kovair's custom field types the most comprehensive in the industry.

"We believe Kovair's Rel 6.0 has pushed the envelope for achieving the most functional ALM and ITSM solution delivered in an integrated 100% browser based package and create a new benchmark for all other tools in this category to measure against," said Sky Basu, CTO of Kovair.
