Codebeamer Now Integrated Into PTC’s Digital Thread

PTC has integrated its Codebeamer (Application Lifecycle Management or ALM) product version with Windchill (Product Lifecycle Management or PLM).

Completed via the Open Services for Lifestyle Collaboration standard, this innovation is intended to improve visibility across the digital development process and should help manufacturers of complex products innovate quicker, the company says. 

PLM solutions like Windchill manage parts, models and documents, while ALM solutions like Codebeamer automate software development and delivery processes. 

By integrating the ALM and PLM solutions, all software and hardware product development teams can benefit from lifecycle management systems and the ability to quickly respond to changing requirements, as well as capture, link, track and manage all requirements. It also provides traceability from start to finish.

There is an end-to-end user experience with a single sign-on, links visible in both directions and automatic detection of links after changes.

"With this integration, we have reached another milestone for engineers in the industry," says Elliot Clarke, UKI regional director at PTC. "Now that these two leading solutions work seamlessly together, we are providing end-to-end support for the entire digital development process for both hardware and software."
