Solving Global Software Development Challenges

With the increased amount of software in products, companies struggle with visibility to release readiness, as well as handling the exponential growth in product variants while maintaining high quality. In addition, software development is often disconnected from the rest of product development and is not included in design reviews until late in the process.

PTC’s approach to Global Software Development ensures that all software development processes and engineering artifacts are connected, including requirements, system models, source code, and test, ensuring comprehensive lifecycle traceability. PTC's open architecture integrates disparate tools into a streamlined software system engineering process, allowing orchestration of software change and collaboration across the technology supply chain. Development teams improve productivity and quality, streamline compliance and gain complete product visibility, which ultimately drives more innovative products into the market.
