the ITSM Studio:
Kovair offers an architecturally versatile platform that is totally web based, that combines the capabilities of an application configuration infrastructure, a configurable graphical workflow engine called the Omni process and an enterprise service bus for integration of multiple tools and applications called the Omnibus. This allows Kovair to be configured for any ALM or ITSM tools applications as well as seamless integration of other third party tools and applications around the Omnibus to create a single repository end to end product development and applications services infrastructure. Kovair today offers more than 30 such integrations from major vendors like IBM Rational, HP, Microsoft and others.

Kovair products are offered both for On-premise deployment as well as SaaS or Cloud delivery models.
