“We have control over all related topics for a project as they are defined in IDDOS. The implementation of TD/OMS ensures an ideal situation when starting up any arbitrary development project”

“Through the implementation of Remain’s TD/OMS it is now unthinkable at Accell that there are multiple versions of applications within the company”

“We benefit from TD/OMS because it’s stable, well functioning software that provides the services we need and doesn’t require much attention at all”
