Hexagon US Federal Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS)

According to the Hexagon US Federal website, “JCMIS is a Web-based product life-cycle management (PLM) system that provides clear, concise, and valid information during all phases of the product life cycle: design, development, maintenance, and disposition. It integrates configuration identification, change control, status accounting, and audits into a closed-loop system that helps managers perform PLM from early design through asset retirement. JCMIS provides a seamless view of a part, its documentation, identification number, technical directives, allowable configurations, and as-is configurations. It complies with EIA 649 (National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management) and embraces the Configuration Management II (CMII) methodology. 

Key features and benefits include:

• Single point integration of PLM business process
