Kovair Global Lifecycle is the market’s most robust application enabling full compliance with SEI’s Capability Maturity Model Integration(CMMI). The Global Lifecycle toolset features a shared repository and a common interface supporting the Process Areas (PAs) needed to reach CMMI Level 5 and integrates with leading third-party tools (see Kovair Global Lifecycle Add-ons and Adapters for integrated tool options) to speed the time and reduce the effort required to achieve a culture of software engineering and management excellence.

Kovair Global Lifecycle’s powerful Process Engine automates workflow between Process Areas, eliminating the need to acquire several different and non-integrated technologies from multiple vendors. If your organization is charged with initiatives to improve and sustain the quality of your software development processes, Global Lifecycle’s automation, integration and breadth of PA coverage offers a complete solution for Level 5 CMMI compliance.
