Careful practices are a requirement when dealing with complex systems such as weapons, satellites and rockets. A failure in these systems could easily have dramatic effect. Similarly, automobiles are complicated systems with electronic functions and complex interactions, and transport signaling is now a complex command chain completely monitored by computers. None of these systems can afford to fail.

In order to thoroughly handle these complex systems, you have to manage huge volumes of data of varying origin (e.g., contracts, project items, mechanical items, sub-systems, software, electronic cards) while keeping in sight the global objective of the projected system. The management of these systems has grown so complex that the implementation of management tools that track data (or configuration data), has become compulsory.

With Advitium, configuration management is seen as a global process. In this context Advitium is a backbone tool and also tracks technical events, software and hardware configuration. At a higher level, the configuration tool checks the operational system and the project.

Among various functions, Advitium:

• Monitors project data, 
• Monitors the project and system configurations, especially:
• Compares project information over time, according to different views or criteria such as contractual terms, equipments, and stages
• Gives access to technical data to authorized users
• Monitors process update and tracks information (e.g., request for modification, impact analysis, audit on a system component or on a system link) 
•  Presents a full dashboard

Not only ISO 10 007-compliant, Advitium also integrates business standards like RG Aéro 0040, ECSS. With its XML native infrastructure, Advitium has an embedded PLCS translator.
