Orcanos has completed implementation of the QPack ALM system for Telmap
Orcanos, a supplier and developer of solutions based on the ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) model, has completed the implementation of two infrastructure projects for Telmap, a world leader in mobile mapping and location based solutions. These projects are for two Telmap divisions - the Core Development and the Professional Services divisions, in which the QPack Professional Edition systems have been installed on a scale estimated at hundreds of thousands of shekels.
In the first project, an Orcanos QPack Professional Edition system was installed in the Telmap core products development group, the developer of Navigator 5.0. With the Orcanos system, the development team and company management will be able to work on a single integrative organizational platform containing a series of different modules. The Orcanos system, considered to be unique in its field, enables all the entities involved in the development process to follow up the progress of the project, manage requirements, plan and implement quality tests, manage defects, and receive a full picture of whether the targets and tasks allocated to the different teams are being met, all in one installed system. Telmap has recently asked for assimilation to be expanded to the company's remote sites, abroad and in Israel, as part of the broad organizational solution afforded by the QPack system.
In a parallel project, Orcanos has carried out full computerization of the professional service processes for system implementers in customer projects. QPack allows the course of the project to be closely monitored with the customer, making it possible to set quality yardsticks and check that timetables and undertakings to the customer are being met. The implementer receives a list of requirements from the customer, and these are input into the QPack system at the start of an efficient and rapid process of implementing and testing the requirements, throughout all stages. All updates to the company's central information system are carried out automatically, and all work is carried out without paperwork, with a convenient and user-friendly interface. In addition, the system makes the management of defects revealed in the development and integration process, or received from customers transparent - including the control processes and construction of yardsticks - by means of a BI (business intelligence) system developed on the QPack as part of the Oracle Israel and Chief Scientist investments during 2007, in the framework of the excellence program in which it is participating.
Ofer Siloni, Vice President of Telmap, says that "implementation of the Orcanos ALM systems has led to a considerable improvement in all parameters relating to management of the cross-organizational work processes, creating full transparency to all entities, and the ability to control and streamline processes in real time. Every day we see the results of the successful implementation, adapted to our needs as a company developing technological solutions for global customers, in our improved ability to meet the targets we have set ourselves and thus improve our competitive edge in the market."
Zohar Peretz, CEO of Orcanos, says that "the implementation of QPack at Telmap is an excellent example of its advantages as a system that provides a response to the set of processes involved in managing products, unifying all aspects of development, and working with the customer in a single system. The complexity of these processes and the large number of factors involved in the process today necessitates working with advanced technological tools that make it possible to simplify and manage the processes in real time."
