FAA Success Story

Case Study:

PROMERGENT's Challenge - Automate the Federal Aviation Administration's national change process to expedite case file processing cycles.

PROMERGENT incorporated the system requirements gathered throughout the FAA into a single, holistic configuration management solution, WebCM.

Created for the FAA and built on PROMERGENT's Eden Architecture™, WebCM is a customized, web-based application that automates the FAA's manual configuration management workflow process. Eden's object-oriented design allows for quick and easy modifications of the WebCM application.

Project Results:

Customized workflow encompassing every level of the FAA configuration management (CM) process
Easily defined and refined workflows and business rules
Fully supported developmental and formal CM activities across the lifecycle of the product
Online management of correspondence, drawings and documentation
Closed-loop status accounting information provided for all FAA products and components
Increased collaboration agency-wide through online reviews of costs, schedules and technical impact assessments
Operating in a digital environment will help the FAA to comply with the Paperwork Elimination Act.

Bottom Line:

The FAA's processing cycles will be reduced from several months to only a few days.
