Client Success

Insightful engineering at enterprise scale for complex systems engineering.
Engineering processes must evolve as products become increasingly software-driven, connected, and complex. When a single error in software code can have devastating consequences, systems engineers in large distributed teams must have the ability to better manage requirements, test with confidence, and accelerate workflows – all while meeting key regulatory compliance standards.
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is the leading fully integrated software development solution for complex product management and engineering. It is designed for large, distributed development organizations that produce mission-critical systems subject to regulatory compliance.
