Sparx Systems Partners with Siemens PLM Software

By DE Editors

Sparx Systems (Creswick, Australia), a provider of visual modeling tools, announced a partnership with Siemens PLM Software (Plano, TX) that strengthens its support for open-standards in model-driven product lifecycle management (PLM) for business, software, and systems development.

As a result of the partnership, Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect — a team-based platform for the Unified Modeling Language (UML) — now tightly integrates with Siemens PLM Software’s Systems Engineering and Requirements Management environment within its Teamcenter software portfolio.

In addition to strong support for UML and software engineering, Enterprise Architect brings other integrated visual modeling capabilities to Teamcenter. Most notable is an open standards approach to systems engineering using SysML and to business process analysis through the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). The Open Group’s TOGAF and others, are available to Teamcenter users via the integration.
