Because its software must handle the complex rules of interconnect tariff applications, every\u00a0client\u00a0implementation is highly configurable and demands meticulous attention to detail. Managing those requirements with spreadsheets and email created real risk: poor transparency, traceability, and version control let changes slip through the cracks, and any delay in delivering properly configured software could expose clients to heavy compliance fines or missed deadlines.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By switching from spreadsheets and email to Jama Connect,\u00a0GridUnity&#8217;s\u00a0Customer Success team cut requirements-change management time by 90%, from ten hours to one hour per person each week.
