MKS Federated Server Architecture

MKS Federated Server™ architecture provides an innovative and more cost effective alternative for distributed team collaboration on application and software development projects. Built on MKS's innovative application server foundation, the MKS Federated Server enables teams in any time zone or geographic location to have real time access to all activities and assets.

"Historically, IS change processes have been managed by individual business units across the globe. Making the MKS technology more widely available in our environment will improve global visibility and improve operational efficiencies through tighter integration of lines of business, development and IT operations and reduce costs on a global scale. Heinz anticipates a reduction in redundant and inefficient processes within the next three to six months as we globally implement standard processes and leverage a common tool. The additional enhanced cross-team communication and collaboration MKS affords is also expected to improve overall IS governance throughout our international environment."

- Shirley Weinstein, Global IS Director, H.J. Heinz
