ExtraView Platform Feature List

The ExtraView platform is extremely feature rich. Features that are impossible to configure in other products are standard in the off-the-shelf ExtraView versions. When other products need significant adaptation and enhancements to provide a feature, ExtraView most often provides the functionality with simple, point-and-click functionality. The following is not an exhaustive feature list, but gives an excellent indication of why ExtraView is the most powerful issue-tracking platform available.
 

There are three ExtraView versions. ExtraView Standard is available without license cost and capable of implementing basicsolutions for any industry sector. ExtraView Professional adds valuable additional configuration and reporting options. ExtraView Enterprise is fully featured, and is used to implement enterprise-wide, global applications and to meet the needs of regulated industries. ExtraView Enterprise also implements a unique structure that allows global companies to allow each user to operate in their own language.
