Convoy/DM V3.0: Value Throughout the Application Life Cycle Lisa Houle, manager of data administration and security at the University of Utah The University of Utah (also The U or the U of U or the UU), located in Salt Lake City, is the flagship public research university in the state of Utah, and one of 10 institutions that make up the Utah System of Higher Education. , commented on the ability of Convoy/DM to add value throughout the application life cycle, "We had to commit to management early on that we were going to use the product on an ongoing basis. Because the product actually addresses both data conversion and application interfacing, we are extremely committed to it." The growth of enterprise applications has created a critical need for integration that can be both risky and expensive for organizations, and require sophisticated technical knowledge. In addition, the cost of managing these interfaces continues for as long as the applications are used, regardless of whether the original developers are still around. A tool like Convoy/DM becomes essential to managing interfaces as user needs and the applications themselves change and evolve.

I heard about Convoy from two different sources, a Convoy customer and one of our consultants. I was interested in seeing if Convoy could deliver what it said it could. It did live up to its reputation and allowed MBNA to quickly and accurately deploy HRMS HRMS Human Resource Management System HRMS High Resolution Microwave Survey (SETI, Project Phoenix) HRMS High Resolution Mass Spectroscopy HRMS High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy HRMS Human Resources Management Specialist systems to keep pace with our rapid growth."
