In the last decade we have seen the demarcation between product development and software development becoming increasingly blurred as software becomes a larger component of product delivery. One of the issues that has arisen as a result of this blurring is the disconnect between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools.
Today’s leading PLM and ALM tools evolved independently, addressing different issues, opportunities, and processes. Lacking a common “language”, traditional approaches to integration have provided only marginal opportunities for synchronizing these two worlds.
The Teamcenter Polarion Integration is a breakthrough in ALM-PLM orchestration and interaction. Leveraging the very latest developments in linked data integration technology, the Teamcenter Polarion Integration ensures that product development organizations have a single, cohesive product ecosystem, with bi-directional associativity between ALM and PLM data and processes. Seamless ALM-PLM interchange unlocks tremendous cross-system and cross-team synergies, reducing design and development errors, and helping organizations make smarter decisions and better products.
