The increasing reliance on embedded electronics and software in several industries, and the spreading of IoT-connected devices have created a need to break down the barriers between hardware and software development. Increasingly, there is a new approach that treats the end product as an integrated whole, regardless of the fact that hardware and software have traditionally been created separately. But integrating Product Lifecycle Management and Application Lifecycle Management in order to be able to manage the overarching product lifecycle ("xLM – x Lifecycle Management") entails certain challenges. Different tools, processes, and methods are used in the development of hardware and software products. To integrate them, one needs to bring together both lifecycle processes and data. Check out our webinar to learn more about how codeBeamer allows you to seamlessly integrate PLM and ALM using Business Process Management capabilities, allowing you to streamline the development of complex products.
