28-July-2019: Rhytify launches RaaS - Review and Audit Services

Rhytify launched RaaS - Review and Audit Services - a platform and a service using which organizations can get their artefacts reviewed by the subject matter experts.

Review is a vital part of production of any artefact - be it Proposals, Contracts, Requirements Specifications, Architecture, Design, Code, Test Specifications, Test Reports, Marketing Materials, News Briefs etc.

A study conducted by Rhytify finds that reviews are not well done in most of the organizations. Typical reasons include:

  • Reviews require expertise - not everyone can review a document. It requires special skills such as analysis and judgement, awareness of best practices and articulation.

  • Reviews take time and are often omitted or superficially done. The project is always under pressure. Therefore, the focus is given to producing deliverables and catching up with the schedule. Detailed review often skipped.

  • Reviews are expensive as they require above average expert power and time.

With RaaS, enterprises can avail expert review of their artefacts as a service. The platform allows upload of artefacts, viewing of findings, defects classification and various review metrics. RaaS can be used by customers to track defects to closure by creating, assigning and tracking actions for defects.

RaaS is now available on cloud for select customers on a trial basis.

Rhytify intends to enable the artificial intelligence based pre-review module very soon.
