Selecting the right Requirements Tool for you

Let’s face it; picking a requirements management tool isn’t easy. There is a wide spectrum of options – from shareware templates on one end to large, expensive enterprise suites on the other end. For Contour, it’s somewhere comfortably in between.

We’re often asked how Contour compares to the traditional enterprise suites such as Telelogic DOORS and IBM’s Rational products.

This guide is the result of us pulling together the eight main criteria based on consistent feedback we hear from our customers who have experience with the other tools. The goal of this guide isn’t to bash the competition. 

In fact, we’ll be the first to acknowledge that the traditional enterprise suites are powerful desktop applications with extensive feature sets.

However, the challenge is that they can be difficult to use, costly and time-consuming to implement, and require extensive training to achieve organisational adoption. Even after all that, the tool can go unused.

We created Contour to provide an alternative with the same capabilities of enterprise requirements management, but with the ease, flexibility and collaboration advantages of a fully Web-based tool.

The result is a solution that provides our customers lower total cost of ownership, faster organisational adoption and higher return on investment. So, what’s the right option for you?  We hope you find this guide helpful in your hunt for the right solution.
