Seamlessly integrate third-party tooling with your engineering solutions.
Product development teams have long relied on robust application suites, purpose-built to bring their products to market with speed, quality and efficiency. Software developers gravitated towards Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) toolsets while hardware-focused teams adopted Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms.
Yet much has changed with the evolution to complex software-driven and mission critical products in industries like aerospace, automotive, industrial and medical devices. Increasingly, organizations excel when they link software and product engineering data and processes. They require integrated solutions that account for everything. Every updated requirement. Every new design. Every design update. Engineers require a single source of truth – or traceability – across their data. Without this consistency, it becomes difficult to keep requirements, new designs, or changes consistent. Changes must be made instantaneously and automatically across systems even when the data is located in multiple places.
Persistent is well positioned to address these integration challenges. We have a portfolio of solutions from lightweight integration plugins to customized service-based solutions. Our objective is to enhance team collaboration and engineering data federation and traceability required for industry standard compliancy.
