BigLever CEO to Participate in Panel on Convergence of Product Line Engineering, ALM, PLM at Product Innovation Conference

BigLever Software today announced that the company's founder and CEO, Dr. Charles Krueger, will participate in a panel discussion at the Product Innovation conference taking place in San Diego, Oct. 21 and Oct. 22. This panel will feature an insightful discussion and debate regarding one of the most promising and powerful advances in product innovation -- the convergence of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and PLE.

In addition to providing business opportunities, the increasing sophistication of products and systems deployed throughout the industry increases engineering and operational complexity as well as risk. Systems Engineering in this context requires a commensurate sophistication in the alignment of traditionally siloed mechanical, electrical, software engineering and operations for the creation, delivery, sales, maintenance and evolution of a product line portfolio that is finely tuned to support a spectrum of different customer stakeholders. The panel discussion will bring together expert practitioners and industry thought leaders from PLM, PLE and ALM to discuss these converging disciplines and how forward-thinking organizations can best leverage this convergence to address their complexity challenges.

As a recognized PLE pioneer who has led some of the industry's most notable PLE deployments, Krueger will spotlight the key role that PLE is playing in enabling the convergence. "We're at an exciting crossroads right now in the industry, where product line engineering tools and methods are enabling ALM and PLM to better integrate and align across the entire enterprise," said Krueger. "This represents a critical leap forward in the way companies create and deliver their product lines, enabling organizations to achieve whole factor improvements in efficiency, time-to-market, product line scalability and quality."
