Every requirement, traced to the test that proves it
We set up, migrate, and run IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management so your requirements, designs, tests, and baselines stay linked from the first draft to the audit.

IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management
We work across the whole IBM ELM suite, formerly called Jazz: requirements, workflow, test, reporting, and configuration management.
Requirements management
DOORS Next and DOORS 9, configured for how your team writes, reviews, and baselines requirements.

Workflow
Plans, work items, and change control tied to your requirements.
Engineering Workflow Management
Test and quality
Test plans and results traced to the requirements they verify.
Engineering Test Management
Reporting and document generation
Formal documents and reports from live ELM data. Reporting is our deepest specialty, from templates to traceability reports.

Systems engineering
Model-based systems engineering and the process that links models to requirements and tests.
MBSE
Move from DOORS 9 to DOORS Next with every link intact
A migration must keep every requirement, link, and baseline. First, we analyze your DOORS 9 data. Then we restructure it for DOORS Next and connect it to workflow and test.
