MKS Integrity Integration
Setting Up the Integrated SCM Solution

Few industries in the world can compare to the rapidly changing realm of computing technology.
Hardware, software, and the dot com eBusiness environment are evolving at an ever increasing rate of
speed. In the explosive Internet and Web-based marketplace, many companies are rushing to take
advantage of this area, creating Web sites, intranets, and online commercial software products.
However the effort involved in managing change has taken its toll unnecessarily on many hardworking
and dedicated people. You may relate to working in a rapid free-fire zone of software
development where nightly builds, if that frequent, provide the only milestones in the process. Such
inadequate measures for backup and security seriously jeopardize the effectiveness of enterprise-wide
contributions. While this is only one scenario, it represents an important fact in this emerging Webbased
marketplace: businesses desperately need solutions that move them from chaos to order.
MKS creates solutions that help you where it matters most—in the management of changes in all your
critical files and in the promotion of workflow collaboration among people in your organization. Put
simply, MKS has the right solution for your business. In fact, keeping up with the pace of technology
does not have to be painful—on the contrary, MKS thinks that setting the pace is much more
rewarding.
