Abstract: A client computer includes a synchronization manager. The synchronization manager communicates with a remote content management system to determine a set of objects in a content navigation hierarchy. The synchronization manager provides a user interface with controls to allow a user to independently select multiple objects in the content navigation hierarchy for synchronization and receives an input, via the interface, that selects objects from the set of objects for synchronization. The synchronization manager stores local peers of the selected objects in a local cache in a local file system. The synchronization manager synchronizes changes to the selected objects at the content management system to the local peers in the file system.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a risk trace matrix engine for managing database associations, in a quality management system (QMS), between risk mitigations and features of a system having a risk-based profile.
