IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management

Insightful Engineering at Enterprise Scale

Engineering Teams are facing the challenge of designing, developing and engineering sophisticated products in shorter periods of time and with fewer resources. They must not only engineer new technologies but also integrate new solutions. Especially to drive faster time to market at lower cost from trusted vendors. IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (IBM ELM) is a comprehensive solution that integrates technologies, such as the Watson AI-powered Requirements Quality Assistant (RQA) to improve the quality of increasingly complex requirements, and advances automotive compliance to fast-track ASPICE compliance.

Key benefits of the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management Solution:

  • Scale to handle industry-specific design complexities and emerging industry standards
  • Support for global configurations, systems-of-systems, large supplier networks, traceability, auditing, and integrated compliance and reporting
  • Integration across the entire engineering lifecycle, from requirements management to systems design and test management
  • Seamless workflow management and collaboration across distributed teams

Create and manage requirements

Deliver consistent requirements and ultimately achieve enterprise scale with IBM’s industry leading requirements management solutions, leveraging insights and guidance from product conception to production.

Strengthen decision-making

Make better decisions by using model-based systems engineering to develop a deeper understanding of the impact of design across systems and throughout the product lifecycle.

Accelerate delivery

Real-time planning helps manage across requirements, application development, design and test efforts — and integrates with execution.

Improve quality

Integrated testing and lifecycle traceability provide visibility across artifacts for a complete view, from requirements to release.

Foster continuous collaboration

Deliver value across teams, roles and disciplines with agile and collaboration tools that support multiple technologies, platforms and processes.

Enable compliance

Integrates compliance and regulatory requirements into the development process to better enable auditability, traceability and reporting.

 

Customers about our services

Schmidhauser AG

"A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks to Rational Rhapsody® models, we can discuss new functionalities much better with our customers – even without knowledge of the code."

Peter Bode

Project Manager Mobile Drives

Mettler Toledo AG

„Now the advantages of our solid foundation work will have a large impact. A model is easy to adapt and maintain and new functions can be integrated very fast. In combination with the automatic code generation and testing we now will be strikingly faster… with a consistent high quality. Today we save time and money – not least thanks to IBM Rational Rhapsody!"

Wolfgang Boos

Head of Software

Bernina International AG

„Die Architektur muss von Anfang an richtig aufgesetzt werden und den Voraussetzungen einer modellgetriebenen Entwicklung entsprechen. Ich empfehle jedem Unternehmen, sich Unterstützung von einem externen, erfahrenen Rhapsody Spezialisten wie beispielsweise EVOCEAN zu holen, um die Basisarchitektur gemeinsam zu modellieren.“

Giovanni Annunzio

System Architect

Bernina International AG

„Dank der Modelle können wir neue Funktionen und Abhängigkeiten visualisieren. Ein Bild sagt mehr als 1‘000 Worte und die grafisch modellierte Abstraktion macht uns Entwicklern das Leben sehr viel einfacher. Gleichzeitig nimmt uns die mit dem Modell verbundene Codegenerierung einen grossen Teil der Arbeit ab!“

Giovanni Annunzio

System Architect

SIX Financial Information Ltd

„The EVOCEAN continuous improvement method stabilized our processes and had a positive influence on the quality and on the satisfaction of the employees. I would recommend to use this approach at any time. Continuous improvement must become a part of everyday work."

Michael K. Steinhöfel-Cordova

Head of Quality Management

Bernina International AG

„For Bernina, abstraction, simulation, reuse and automatic code generation are central for a short time-to-market … and therefore the key of our success!"

Phonak Communication AG

„Model Driven Development with Rational Rhapsody® was a critical success factor for developing inspiro within the required schedule and market needs. Thanks to EVOCEAN's support, we were able to implement the tool quickly and apply the methodology effectively."

Rainer Platz

Head of R&D

MCS Engineering AG

"It is very easy to set up and run a Perforce Helix Core proxy server for working with geographically dispersed teams. Downloading data is also very easy. We were amazed at how much time we saved."

Eric Gutmann

Project Leader

Schleuniger AG

„Thanks to the fully automatic code generation with Rhapsody® we could accelerate the software development.“
