Discover a better way to make smarter, more competitive products
Today's products and systems – from medical devices to cars to smart power grids – are becoming more intelligent and interconnected. To keep pace and stay competitive you need the ability to not only make your products smarter – you need to do so cost efficiently, quickly and with low risk. IBM Software solutions for complex and embedded systems provide a complete, collaborative approach across the engineering lifecycle to help you deliver high quality products and systems, on time and with reduced risk. They include requirements management; systems architecture design and modeling; collaboration, planning and change management; quality management; and product line engineering.
IBM Software complex and embedded systems solutions provide you with the capability to:
- Design products and systems that are innovative, yet safe, secure and reliable
- Accelerate your software and systems development processes
- Improve product quality and demonstrate compliance to regulations
- Design, develop and deliver complete families of products
Real results
Learn how IBM Rational® software for systems helped General Motors develop the innovative Chevrolet Volt (US). With over 10 million lines of software code running on nearly 100 microprocessors, the Volt embodies the concept of smarter products. Hear about the Volt project from the GM engineers who explain how IBM Software helped them design and engineer the Volt in record time.
iPLON GmbH (US), a technology services provider in Germany, manages more complex embedded software development, realises cost and time savings and improves developer productivity, quality and communication when it implements IBM Rational Rhapsody® software.
