ISM is not intended to store all of the information that all of its client applications contain. Rather, it is intended to store and communicate a consensus view of data that is common to two or more of its client applications, such as RAM Concept .

RAM Concept continues to hold and maintain its own private copy of project data. Some of RAM Concept ’s data will duplicate that of the associated ISM repository. RAM Concept ’s data may even conflict with that in the ISM repository. RAM Concept (or you as its user) may decide that maintaining conflicting data is best for RAM Concept ’s and ISM’s different uses.
