We moved all our collaborative storage into the solution’s servers.
* The branching strategy of helix is still too technical to handle for a non-technical user, like a graphic artist. * The concept of workspace is hard to acquire at first. Users naturally would like it to be more transparent to configure. * Desynchronization was one of our most frequent issues.

Tracks change requests, problems, and physical asset management. I would like to see data type for floating point numbers.
Customer Service: Customer service has been adequate. Most of the times we've had any issues IBM has been able to provide a solution. We've dealt mostly with customer service representatives in Brazil. Technical Support: Technical support from IBM is pretty good since you can create a PMR with them and they’re very responsible.
