We provide suitable information infrastructures to collect, connect, combine, and deliver information and knowledge in new, and previously not envisioned, ways. Our experience and technology provide the ability to assemble suites of integrated software components to utilize this information. These suites not only provide the immediate desired functionality, but also facilitate sharing of the information. They allow true re-use of existing components to extend the capabilities in the future. For businesses, this translates to a huge cost savings. Current information sources can be leveraged to manage data that already exists, without having to change current work processes or systems. We will work together with you to define the needs, examine the alternatives, devise a strategy, and implement a high quality and cost-effective software solution. Overview Symmetrix Software, Inc. is a leading-edge provider of product configuration management software solutions.  Software developers founded Symmetrix and we understand what our customers require and value. Our particular emphasis has been to provide software solutions that integrate with existing customer product data management and business systems. The Symmetrix Difference Symmetrix understands its customers' needs because experts and innovators in software development founded and built our company.  Through years of experience, we have learned much about the many products we have modeled, the customers that use them, the business systems needed to support them, and many other aspects of the process of designing, manufacturing, delivering, marketing, selling, and supporting products that are used every day.  As those products become more useful, capable, and adaptable, the complexity of selecting and deploying them increases.  Managing the information needed to understand and correctly specify the products required to fit an application also becomes difficult. Our solutions are truly innovative and have been proven superior time and time again.
