Setting up the server with all the licenses and switches requires a team, especially for large teams and scaling across multiple machines. It's not a one-person job, so maybe a six.

The initial deployment took a few weeks.

Our IT team handled the deployment. It took them one and a half months. But we have only one working license for now. 

The product is easy to use after we deploy it. We took a training call on it. So I think now it's clear for most of them, but maybe not indeed, but it's enough for users to start working.

We did the installation by ourselves. One person is enough to do the deployment, depending on the knowledge of software and administration.

We implemented this solution ourselves. We have special engineer for that.

We used Telelogic support to train the teams and initiate the datamodel construction

Have had vendor in house for very select engagements, mostly self created solutions based on many in house meetings and sound software development.

Our in-house IT administrators are responsible for setting up and maintaining our software, including DOORS.

An implementer did the initial installation. Based on what I heard, it's not easy to install. I don't want to say it was complex, but it wasn't very easy either. It's not just like installing  Word or Microsoft Office — it wasn't that easy.

We were a big organization complete with different teams. There were some disagreements on how the tool should be set up, how the traceability should be set up, etc. These discussions delayed the delivery or the final implementation. Otherwise, it could have been set up quickly. A lot of customers made it much harder. 

We may have used a retailer to help us with the deployment.

Our in-house IT department handled the implementation of this solution.

It was through a vendor team. The implementation and training was smooth, but the enhancements and bug fixing took long time.

I believe they did the deployment in-house.

We have an IT department that does the implementation and all the maintenance of the solution.

In-house engineering tool support team is how we evaluated, tested and deployed DOORS in our company.

We used some FirePop Integrators to assist us with the implementation.

Only ever through in-house.

We used our own in-house team.

We do all of our own implementations.  

Although DOORS is very easy to use, the actual database needs to be set up correctly and users must follow a well-defined process. This is where most customers have issues with DOORS.

In-house implementation

We did an In-house deployment and configuration, with own local ICT and Tools and Methodologies engineer.

I have implemented Rational DOORS projects both as an external consultant and as an in-house expert.

I have done everything myself over the years.

I was not aware of anybody outside the organization coming in to handle the implementation, however, that doesn't mean that someone on the IT side didn't have that. I'm unsure if we had outside help.

It was done in-house, but our engineers had guidance and support from IBM, which was excellent.

We used a vendor team.

We did it in-house, but I wasn't involved.

I normally work as part of a vendor team.

We are a vendor and implement it for our clients.

I can perform the deployment myself, although sometimes we need to involve many people. There are engineers, quality teams, and validation teams. Many parts of the business can be involved in the deployment.

We implemented it in-house, though it does require basic knowledge of the tool.

It was done in-house.
