Jacaré - Putting All Project Issues Lying In Wait On Notice

DENVER, CO - (April 27, 2005) - Explore Systems, Inc. today announces their flagship product, the Jacaré Issue Tracker(SM), a web-based online Issue Management System that empowers the project team to clearly identify, accurately evaluate and appropriately resolve issues in a timely manner, helping the project team stay on schedule and within budget.

"Project managers frequently, if not consistently encounter issues during any phase of the project life-cycle. It is how the project team manages these issues that can make or break the project, or the project manager's career for that matter," says Founder and President, Joe Keeley of Explore Systems, Inc. "Since I could not find an issue management solution with all the features I wanted that was not focused on tracking bugs, we took it upon ourselves to conceive and create the Jacaré Issue Tracker, specifically designed to encourage resource collaboration to quickly and effectively resolve ubiquitous project issues."

"We originally selected Explore Systems to augment our development team because of their experience in creating web based applications as well as their customer centric engagement philosophy," says Adrianna Mercado, Vice President of Operations of MetaHoldings, Inc., provider of MetaExchange.com. "As an innovative company we continually seek out innovative solutions, so the Jacaré Issue Tracker immediately attracted our attention. Our cohesive relationship with Explore Systems allowed us to be an early adopter and put Jacaré through its paces with one of our internal development efforts. New to the marketplace, Jacaré provides innovative power to solve the issue-tracking problem. Since we have a geographically dispersed project team, it is vital that we have a central, easily accessible tool to track project issues and notify the team when new issues arise, and Jacaré is doing just that. We find the product to be technologically sound as well as extremely user friendly."

The Jacaré Issue Tracker allows all geographically dispersed project participants to actively engage in the issue management process. The project team must remain vigilant for any obstacle that could negatively impact the project's assumptions, budget, scope, schedule and quality of deliverable. By recording and consistently monitoring issues, each team member and stakeholder is able to understand and resolve pending concerns in a proactive manner. Jacaré enables effective issue management by delivering role and relationship based views, reports and e-mail alert triggers, affording the project participants precise visibility throughout the project life-cycle. If further analysis is required, authorized team members are permitted to create and export both the default and custom generated reports.
