Shape the future of Merative!

We invite you to shape the future of Merative, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Merative team to refine your idea

Help Merative prioritize your ideas and requests

The Merative team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Provide support for AWS RDS DB2

AWS and IBM recently announced support for AWS RDS DB2.

This request is for PD to consider adding this option to the supported platforms, since DB2 is used by a number of our big clients and this would be something welcomed as they all continue to modernise their platforms to the cloud.

    Merative Product Management Team,


    The State of California - Case Management Information and Payrolling System (CMIPS) Project providing In Home Supportive Services for more than a million Providers, Recipients and County Workers is running on Curam SPM.

    We're keenly looking for Curam SPM to support IBM Db2 as a fully managed service on Amazon RDS.

    What are the versions of Curam SPM that are planned to be supported and by when?

    Thanks,

    Sundar Narayanaswamy

    Senior Consultant, CGI-Northwest
