Extremely fast functional coupling complexity, processing power increase, product miniaturization, digital convergence, connectivity, user interaction and autonomy requirements, are many factors making High-Tech product delivery more and more complex. To face this challenge, companies have to master related systems development and ensure traceability from needs identification to final verification and right-to-market product delivery. IBM delivers unique solutions to help all engineering disciplines in a company contribute to the global systems definition processes.
IBM’s V6 solution for collaborative systems engineering helps systems engineers in High-Tech companies to formalize, share and manage a unified cross-discipline systems definition process. It allows customer needs and technical requirements to be captured and complete traceability across product definition, functional, logical, physical and test aspects to be established. Systems architects can also model and validate systems behavior to enable systems optimization, concept dimensioning and multi-disciplines interface management, which provide them with early product validation opportunities.
Collaborative systems engineering solution includes:
- Requirement management
- Functional analysis
- Logical design
- Systems modeling and simulation
- Integration, verification and validation
- Systems analysis and definition control
