To compete on innovation and deliver high-end functionality, manufacturers are embedding more and more software into their products — and finding that software bugs and compatibility failures can cripple new product introduction (NPI) profits. To address these risks and tame the complexity of embedding software in engineered systems, development teams and service providers must pursue processes that connect the software and physical development domains, foster increased collaboration across these historically separate yet highly interdependent disciplines, and help close the quality gap. This teleconference discusses these processes alongside the available applications offered by vendors of both application life-cycle management (ALM) and product life-cycle management (PLM) to enable change.
Agenda:
- Embedded software raises both the rewards and risks of product innovation.
- Success hinges on five hardware and software processes.
- ALM and PLM applications must be combined to offer process support.
- What it means: Embedded software marks a big step toward ubiquitous computing.
Vendors mentioned:IBM, Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC),Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Software
