    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    MetricStream
    MetricStream is well suited for when you need to pull a report into Excel for further analysis. It is not good for when information needs to be entered as this is all done manually by analysts and managers. If we can implement a way to take parts of uploaded documents and have the system automatically enter the information in the designated fields in MetricStream, it would cut out lots of manual work for our department.

    Cons
    IBM

    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
    • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

    • Speed/efficiency.
    • Missing functionality: Uploading documents (Excel sheets) into MetricStream and being able to pull information from that form into the program.
    • Improve number of outages and time that it is out for.

    Archer is more risk-management-friendly in that it has a better interface and more room to conduct risk-related tasks and pull reports.
