The challenge
From fragmented workflows to traceable delivery
The organization needed to modernize a regulated SDLC while preserving end-to-end visibility across requirements, testing, reporting, and delivery.
- Dynamic lifecycle management and real-time synchronization were difficult to coordinate.
- Compliance traceability across COBIT, CFR, and SEC requirements needed to be stronger.
- CI/CD integration and fragmented SDLC visibility created risk of delays and compliance gaps.
- Excel and SharePoint were the primary tools used before Inflectra.
