Why Every Angle for IT management

Standardized OPM solution

Excel, Access and local downloads from the ERP system are often filling the gap for operational information in your IT landscape. From an IT management perspective, this is an undesirable situation because of security, standardization, manageability and scalability. Every Angle fills this gap by replacing these ‘self made’ OPM tools with a standard and proven solution, saving business users many man-hours and costs, and enabling IT to exercise the appropriate application business controls.
