Collaborative development. Sustainable design.

After a comprehensive search, ENYSE chose the IBM^® Engineering Lifecycle Management solution. The IBM tool offers an end-to-end control platform that facilitates collaboration across teams and projects. And to encourage transparency, ENYSE is also taking advantage of the solution’s traceability views—or digital threads—which let managers and stakeholders monitor and validate both sustainability and design requirements at each stage of the development process.

At the same time, ENYSE also deployed the IBM Engineering Publishing module for further visibility and traceability. The solution allows ENYSE staff to create custom templates that streamline and help automate the generation of requirements definition, validation, architecture and design documents.

ENYSE launched these new tools within an Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) framework, a strategy that simplifies third-party integration and creates a more interconnected and efficient workflow.

With the right tools now in place, ENYSE is in the position to meet its sustainability obligations while driving further improvements. In particular, the client was able to shift much of its testing efforts to a virtual strategy, employing digital twins instead—a move that removed the corresponding time, manufacturing and carbon costs of real-world, onsite tests.

And thanks to the solution’s stage-based visibility and tracking, the organization can better reuse designs and individual components for new projects, accelerating time to market and further reducing waste. In addition, the reporting capabilities of the IBM software provides ENYSE with clear documentation and testing data to help manage its compliance with various standards to auditors and stakeholders.

Finally, the design teams at ENYSE were pleased with the collaborative capabilities offered by the IBM Engineering software. The web-based environment allowed users to seamlessly access designs and documentation from anywhere—providing they have the necessary permissions, of course. And this convenience helped facilitate remote work, collaboration with outside providers and overall communication across teams and locations within ENYSE.
