And costs escalate the later in the lifecycle you change or fix something. With VOA, you recombine rather than recreate work. It retains and evolves product and project knowledge. This means you maximize the reuse of requirements, models, tests, code, and implementation lessons. Using VOA you should expect to reduce your change management cost by 30% and lower both product development and operating expenses. Try VOA What’s the ROI? Answer this question at every stage of the application lifecycle with VOA. It offers software vendors and enterprises these benefits.

Failure means not achieving the forecast ROI for your product, project, or release. Success is unlikely without the right information about benefits, costs, risks, and alternatives. VOA injects value across the lifecycle and shows the financial implications of each artifact, activity, and decision. Turn your product or project ROI into reality with VOA. Try VOA What’s the ROI?

Artifacts aren’t in one place and joining them up takes manual labor. Knowledge is scattered across point products. Information falls through the cracks between systems and you lose work that has cost a lot to create. Inflexible technical designs make change hard. VOA brings application lifecycle management back to life. Artifacts link across every lifecycle stage including idea, design, development, operation, and retirement. Changes synchronize and trace to each other automatically. And because VOA is built on semantic technologies, it’s ready to evolve without big redesigns. The more you use VOA, the more value you get from its evolving knowledge base. Try VOA Try VOAWhy VOA?

Implementation happens ungoverned by the business case. Critical decisions, especially, around scope change are made unguided by ROI information. ROI-free decisions means disappointing projects and underperforming products. VOA injects and tracks ROI into every stage of application lifecycle management. Early in the lifecycle, you can build your business case, set value targets, and forecast ROI down to the individual artifact or activity. As implementation progresses, VOA continuously refines and reforecasts benefit, cost, and time estimates based on actual performance.

Writing a clear user story won’t help much if it’s left in traditional dead- document format. They’re hard to find, inflexible, and discourage reuse. Inevitably, business conditions and user needs change, then, your requirement is out-of-date. VOA creates requirements ready for both change and reuse. Requirements are built around elements, so, when change happens only the element needs adjustment. Changes synchronize automatically across related requirements. VOA encourages reuse by structuring knowledge into easy- to-share levels including industry, customer, and specific implementation.

With Agile, the product backlog prioritizes on customer value. But this is a single, static and subjective measure. You don’t have the information to decide on value. VOA changes how you plan new releases or deployment. Whether you are an agile product manager or an enterprise deployment manager, VOA lets you slice software into the unit of analysis you want. Choose to slice software into a full release, a subset of features, or your single most valuable feature. You can plan and iterate your slice of software for maximum value.
