Govern & Control
ROSS looks to the following components and more:
- Job Delegation - Assign pre-configured jobs to non-privileged users (developers) to submit jobs on-demand through an intuitive ROSS Web-UI. Job delegation can accelerate release cycles, free up IT resources, and reduce deployment errors.
- Approvals - Allows organizations to achieve "best practice" standards for change control within SharePoint. User-specific actions are captured in detailed reports to enhance the approval process.
- Comprehensive or Selective Deployments - Organizations may choose to deploy a full site or a selection of solutions, functional elements, and associated content on a per job basis.
Administrators can include/exclude any logical combination of elements from a site collection down to the file and/or item level. One may also filter by metadata and content type.

- Reporting - Know what was deployed, by whom, and when. Essential for auditing and trouble-shooting, and simply for peace-of-mind.
- Preview - After snapshot analysis, graphically preview proposed changes across sites. If proposed changes are agreeable, one may commit. Otherwise, one may make changes on-the-fly before commiting to transfer.
