SBE Vision has announced the availability SBE 1.0 that delivers a comprehensive integration of ALM/PLM software solutions for requirements management between two industry leading software companies: Teamcenter® software from Siemens PLM software and IBM® DOORS® Next Generation requirements management software. The release is the first in a series of scheduled releases that deliver integration and automation technologies targeted for automotive and aerospace OEMs, tier 1 suppliers, heavy equipment manufacturers, and engineering government programs. The SBE Vision ALM/PLM integration is complemented by full traceability to ensure requirements are validated and reflect ever evolving product changes.

The need for a seamless ALM/PLM integration has accelerated with the merging of mechanical, electrical, and software requirements. Product development organizations with best-of-breed IT approaches will now be able to bring "disparate, isolated silos" of information together with a unified “single source of truth” approach.

"SBE Vision understands the need to deliver full traceability and automation across product development organizations; however, it was incumbent on us to first provide a comprehensive, seamless integration of the leading ALM/PLM software solutions" noted Robert Nierman, SBE Vision CEO. "The need to resolve the ALM/PLM integration challenge became our number one priority --- we needed to ensure both requirements traceability and requirement allocation included the entire spectrum of heterogeneous solutions that are present in product development today."

SBE 1.0 provides an OSLC compliant solution that meets the rigorous demands of product driven organizations; while adaptable enough to accommodate changes as they occur. SBE Vision’s embedded approach allows Siemens Teamcenter, IBM DOORS NG and legacy system users to operate in their current environments with no retraining. Parlaying the strengths of its partners, SBE Vision delivers to the most demanding ALM/PLM integration challenges.

Citing the technology challenges that SBE Vision had to overcome, David Vredenburgh, SBE Vision CTO, noted, "We have addressed the myriad of technology hurdles that have limited enterprise wide requirements deployments. Given the volumes of data, complex IT infrastructures, and end user demands for simplicity, traditional approaches were not an option. Our SBE 1.0 microservices architecture working with our advanced "smart agent" technology, backed by an easily defined user driven ontology, will meet the objectives of even the most advanced product engineering operation.”
