Are Your Systems Under Control?

Before selecting the tool that you will use for file control, system performance, function and reliability, you should ask yourself the following questions:

• How easy is it to use?
• Does it have multi-platform support?
• Will it easily integrate with other tools?
• Will we need a cloud or on-premise solution?
• Can we setup access control or will it allow for simultaneous usage?
• Does it allow for information sharing?
• Do I need concurrent development options?
• Can I import or export data?
• Does it have a supporting architecture and integration strategy?
• Can I do an integrated change control?
• What is available to us if we used a free solution vs a paid solution?

Join  Chris Knotts, PMP  (LinkedIn profile) and Mitch Smith  for a one hour session as he goes through these questions and other ways to help you begin looking at the right configuration management tool for your business.

The innovation cycles in our globalized world are getting shorter and new subjects like Industrie 4.0 and Digital Transformation have to be implemented much faster if companies want to be successful in the market.

It is only possible if the company and its employees can focus on the important issues.

This focus guarantees fast, high quality and innovative services and products.

At the same time employees have to be motivated in spite of the fast and frequent changes.

The method AQRO® gives companies – whether they have a low level of process and organizational maturity or very dynamic structures – the chance to reach their objectives in an efficient, effective manner and with high productivity.

Implementation of AQRO delivers the following advantages:

• For the company and senior management: Efficiency at last!
  •  Saving up to 3/4 hour per day, per worker, per week

• For the worker:  Work without distractions at last!
  • Clear responsibilities, work with less stress, less overtime
