PLM SOLUTION

Automotive product lifecycle management

Accelerate product development – from product definition to concept to development to verification and validation – by integrating your mechanical, electrical and electronic software systems inside a unified platform. Our solutions are scalable for businesses of all sizes.

Optimize automotive PLM

Customer expectations demand new, technologically advanced features with a quick time to market. That means you must develop and release top-notch products at a rapid pace, including electric, autonomous, connected and shared mobility vehicles. When you also add-in constantly changing regulations, the process of design to validation gets even more complex.
