MECOIS lets you to measure and benchmark the productivity of your software development teams. Closing the feedback loop allows you to continuously improve your development performance.

MECOIS measures productivity using an algorithm that we developed based on a large number of software projects. The algorithm is currently being peer-reviewed and will be published in future research publications. It uses the digital traces of work (commits, issues, messages, etc.) to calculate productivity values.

MECOIS can accurately determine the transfer prices (compensation payments) that different organizational units may want to pay each other when collaboratively developing and sharing software source code.

If collaboration and sharing crosses a tax boundary, you are legally required to price the source code and pay for it. Otherwise, the tax authorities might suspect a profit shifting attempt.

MECOIS helps you assess the impact of the work of your development teams, in monetary amounts, by connecting every line of code with the revenue it creates. Through a feature hierarchy, you can drill down to details and roll up to the overall impact of the code your development teams write.

MECOIS draws on engineering data, organizational data, and accounting data to make this connection. As a result, you know which features are most valuable, from a business perspective. With this information, you can then decide how and where to focus your engineering resources.
