    Scale

    As the systems and software you develop increase in complexity, your engineering tools and processes must scale to handle broader supplier networks, collaboration across dispersed teams and increasing variant designs — while meeting schedule and quality commitments.

    Systems of systems

    Even simple products leverage microprocessors, complex software, and connectivity to deliver differentiation.

    IBM ELM solutions can manage both system and software engineering, and integrate with deployment and delivery solutions, providing a strong foundation for managing increasing complexity with speed and agility.

    Single source of truth

    Leveraging the proverbial single source of truth is crucial for teams to succeed.

    ELM’s integrated, end-to-end solution provides a true single source of truth to deliver data transparency and traceability across the entire development lifecycle.

    Multi-tier supplier ecosystem

    Collaboration, decision, and variant control must be managed in the midst of ever-expanding system-of-systems design and supplier ecosystems.

    The ELM solution provides a strong collaboration and workflow management capability that can scale across multi-functional teams as well as partners.

    Scaling agile

    Accelerate development and deployment while ensuring quality and reporting consistency across time zones, disciplines, and supply chains.

    Enhanced enablement through integrated agile, SAFe, or custom processes to systems engineering practices.

    Take the next step

    Compliance

    In industries with increasingly stringent compliance regulations, getting the products built isn’t enough. Product quality is critical to safety, so you have to prove compliance.

    Data transparency

    Success comes when teams can leverage a single source of truth across engineering data.

    AI, automation and analytics

    Companies are looking for a competitive advantage and engineering teams are looking to improve productivity and improve decision making.
