Enterprise Advantage Details

Steve Reynolds, former Starbase employee and chief architect of what became EA, talked about the customization features in EA. Custom workflow and custom forms allow for users to change the StarTeam UI to fit their process directly. There are also UI widgets that are pushed out to individual StarTeam users (if you use the Cross Platform Client).

For us, the custom workflow and the included MPX server are pretty compelling, though it's a significant investment. Custom forms might be useful, especially for CRs, if they can be applied on a project by project basis. Imagine a UI where Biomek DCRs have fields like "firmware version" and "instrument serial number", while SAMI DCRs have a required method and .spack fields.
