Product managers and product marketing managers at more than 100 companies of all sizes use Accompa - a web-based, "on-demand" software - to automate their requirements gathering, tracking, prioritizing, and collaboration. By doing so, they save valuable time, meet customer needs consistently, and achieve significant competitive advantages for their companies. The "Summer 2008" release of Accompa introduces many new features based on direct feedback from their customers - including an automated way to prioritize requirements consistently, an industry-first.

"Analysts report that as many as 71% of software projects that fail do so because of poor requirements management, making it the single biggest reason for project failure - bigger than bad technology, missed deadlines or change management fiascoes," said Christopher Lindquist, CIO Magazine*. Product Management and Product Marketing organizations are at the front-end of the requirements management process. As a result, good requirements management becomes even more critical - and approaches based on spreadsheets or text documents cause considerable hassles, consume valuable time and contribute to project failures.

Accompa has now become a critical component of how product management and product marketing organizations work at more than 100 companies of all sizes, by providing them an effective, easy-to-use solution for automating their requirements management activities. With pricing starting at just $25/month/user and the on-demand model eliminating installation/maintenance expenses - organizations of all sizes can now afford efficient, software-based requirements management process.

"We're proud to announce the newest release of our requirements management software for product managers. Our product management software is now better than ever," said Robert Miller, Vice President of Products, Accompa. "We're constantly listening to our customers' requirements management needs, and continuously enhancing our software to meet customer needs.
