Jama is much more efficient in streamlining collaboration compared to working in local files such as Microsoft Excel. The biggest savings are in maintaining traceability in JAMA versus across multiple local files which require two-way updates for any changes.
Jama Connect 100%. Don't burden yourself any longer in local files.

Jama Connect provides great coverage views on tracing between multiple levels. Having custom reports and working with their engineers helps create templates that suit our document control system needs. We are still investigating implementing medical device verification and validation testing with their test management suite.
