Cloud Vendor Giva Launches New Release of Standalone ITIL Change Management Software for IT Change Control Process

Santa Clara, California (PRWEB) September 30, 2013

Cloud vendor, Giva®, today announced a significant new release of standalone ITIL change management software for the IT change control process. This is for Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) compliance for IT service management.

With all of the demands imposed by SOX compliance and other industry specific compliance policies such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), there is a very high demand for IT change management software in the cloud. Giva is the only vendor that provides standalone cloud IT change management control software. Many vendors provide IT change management software, but they are highly integrated with IT service desk incident and problem management modules. The problem is that many organizations already have such systems in place and only need the functionality of IT change management. Also, these integrated systems are expensive, difficult to customize and very complex to use.

The ITIL® (IT Infrastructure Library®) compliant Cloud Giva eChangeManager™ is intuitive and easy-to-use and can be deployed in just days and requires only one hour of training. Giva's robust, fast and painless reporting quickly measures IT team productivity resulting in faster and higher quality IT change management decision-making. Customization and configuration are all point and click with no programming or consultants required to deliver a substantially lower total cost of ownership.

In conjunction with this new release, Giva also launched a new online web site tour of change management best practices:
