Software As A Service
SaaS solutions are transforming the software market, by dramatically reducing the hassles of running enterprise software. With Lighthouse, there are no servers, power issues, databases, security or other things to worry about. Your Lighthouse account can be set up in minutes, and your team can begin using it immediately. We've built complete redundancy with multiple servers, load balancing, firewalls, network connections, daily backups and more, so you don't have to worry about it.
On-Premise
Lighthouse can be run inside your firewall, and includes the same simplicity of set up as our SaaS service. We'll deliver a Virtual Appliance to you, fully configured to run within minutes. You'll have no operating system, application server or database to worry about. Set up a free VMWare server, open the Lighthouse file and you'll be running in minutes.
Requirements Traceability
Real-time requirements traceability is simple with Lighthouse, eliminating a lot of manual effort by Project Managers and BAs. Lighthouse users can easily convert one object into another, automating linkage and traceability. For example, requirements can instantly be converted to test cases, failed test cases can be converted to defects, change requests can move to requirements and much more. With each conversion, the linkage is created and maintained by Lighthouse. Our dashboards provide real-time traceability status via lifecycle phase and testing status, making tracking requirements a breeze.
Security
Lighthouse is delivered with multiple levels of security, providing tremendous peace of mind. Data is partitioned at the account (your company), project, user and role levels, delivering on our promise of protecting your data. Users from account to account cannot access the others' data, and even within an account, an user can only see the project data only for assigned projects and roles. Lighthouse eliminates the worry of employees or clients accessing private data.
Reporting
Project updates and reports are typically delivered via the Project Manager "walk about", team meetings or conference calls. Lighthouse provides real-time reports on any data within the system. Each time a requirement is created, a defect is updated, a test case fails or a change request is approved, you can be notified proactively. Lighthouse brings the information you care about directly to you, so you don't have to search for it.
History & Collaboration
Every project has changes and various forms of collaboration, and these might be tracked via email, IM or even a conversation. The history of every Lighthouse object (requirements, defects, changes, etc) is tracked and can be instantly accessed and reported on. When team members leave a project or you add someone new to your team, Lighthouse provides a complete record of every artifact on the project, including collaboration threads around individual items such as requirements or defects.
Complete Solution
Lighthouse was built from scratch to provide all of the tools you need to manage your projects, so eliminates the risk of multiple versions of the same data. Everyone has seen teams using an outdated project plan or requirements document, and the wasted time and effort that comes from that. Lighthouse simplifies building software by maintaining a single database, where all project artifacts reside. Changes to requirements or the plan happen in real-time, with everyone accessing the same data.
Customization
Every software team has its own terminology and process, and Lighthouse is easy to customize. Whether modifying existing Lighthouse fields, adding new fields, building custom reports and more, Lighthouse makes it easy. With AJAX and drag-and-drop capabilities, you can highly customize Lighthouse in minutes without programming. Simple.
