AtTask Helps NASA Contractor GeoControl Systems (GCS) Provide Excellent Support to the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Program

AtTask`s Centralized Project Management Solution Helps GCS Maintain Tools That
Help Ensure NASA`s Software Complies with Its Quality Requirements Throughout
the System Development Lifecycle
OREM, Utah--(Business Wire)--
AtTask, the definitive solution enabling organizations to collaborate and
accomplish the work most essential to the enterprise, enables GCS, a contractor
that provides real-time systems development and integration services for NASA,
to effectively manage and support the software tools used by NASA`s IV&V
contractors on large, complex software systems to ensure they meet the
requirements and to mitigate risks early in the software development lifecycle
(SDLC).

"We needed a centralized solution for managing our tool development and
maintenance projects along with a more efficient way to manage help desk and
support requests," says Bill Elson, Tool Labs Manager for GCS. "NASA requires
compliance with some very specific standards for every software tool they use to
mitigate risks and ensure the quality the software being developed. AtTask gives
us the visibility we need into the status of development and support requests so
we can gauge how we`re doing and where we can improve. It also gives us the
flexibility to revise our project schedules as priorities change and provides us
instant feedback on the impact of those changes."

"Compliance and governance is crucial to organizations like NASA and their
contractors," says Scott Johnson, CEO of AtTask. "AtTask enables GCS to maintain
compliance records in a centralized location as well as accommodate notes and
other related communication. AtTask includes structured governance and
compliance functionality natively within the application--making it simple for
GCS to comply with NASA standards."

Establishing an audit trail is crucial to effectively manage compliance and
certification. AtTask automatically keeps track of audit trails that include
notes, documents, and status changes, making it possible for GCS to keep track
of everything associated with the software tools used by NASA`s contractors.

GCS leverages AtTask`s project management solution to efficiently manage tool
development and maintenance projects, help desk requests, issue management, and
bug tracking. Using AtTask`s help desk queue to review and evaluate submitted
issues, and manage support workload, GCS can effectively meet the software
support needs of NASA`s IV&V contractors and efficiently report project, task
and issue status to NASA project managers via email.

"AtTask helps us accomplish our mission to support NASA`s IV&V program," says
Elson. "We have a lot of projects going on at one time--AtTask helped us create
a process that gives us visibility into everything we`re doing so we can be more
effective and productive."
