Octo by Remain Software, known as "Open Core for Technology Orchestration," is a web-based orchestration framework designed to integrate and display information from other Remain Software applications, such as TD/OMS, in an organized and visual manner. It functions as a central hub that allows users to access, manage, and visualize data across these applications seamlessly. Octo is included in TD/OMS.
The first version of Octo brings essential functionalities of TD/OMS to the web, including work management, ratification, task and object management, and a comprehensive dashboard. This dashboard provides analytical insights, signals warnings for issues like missing sources, and tracks the progress of DevOps activities through trend analysis charts.

Octo comes with a Kanban tool that shows tasks and assignments in an organized way, from to-dos, to work in progress, testing, and completed. You can easily move tasks from one column to another, delete them, and sort them at your convenience.
When a Task is dragged to a column, a deployment of objects will take place in the background.
