Metier Management Systems Ltd, Hayes, Middlesex, has launched a new software package – Adept – that supports the UK government’s Prompt methodology, and the new Prince structured methodology for the control of information technology projects from the first quarter of next year. It is based on the Artemis database language, and follows three years of work between Metier and the Central Computer & Telecommunications Agnecy developing an automatic planning and control system integrating Prompt with the SSADM methodology. Adept operates in conjunction with Artemis 2000 or 7000 and runs under Unix, VMS or MS-DOS – inclusive prices for Artemis with Adept start at UKP1,600.
