Gain control over your product’s entire lifecycle with ALM

Application Lifecycle Management gives you control over the entire lifecycle of your complex software or product. From the initial concept and requirements management, through design, development, testing and deployment, right through to decommissioning.

This strategy aligns people, processes and tools, enabling your teams to collaborate seamlessly based on the right data and information. All this is done in line with Agile methodologies and using repeatable, automatable tasks. Thanks to full traceability, you can be sure of delivering a high-quality, secure and compliant product. In this way, you consistently provide your customers with the products that enable them to make a difference.

The 6 pillars of successful product development

Every organisation is different. ALM is also implemented differently in each case. However, it often follows these six steps.

Requirements Management

A successful product meets the needs of the market and of organisations, as well as requirements in terms of performance, security and regulatory compliance. Requirements Management identifies all these requirements from various stakeholders, collates them and monitors further developments. This information then serves as a guide for teams during the development and subsequent lifecycle of the product.

Design

Various disciplines and departments work together on the design of innovative products. Structures, components and functionalities: these take shape based on the requirements defined in the previous phase. Iteration after iteration.

Software development

Multidisciplinary teams are now setting to work to turn the design into reality. Thanks to close collaboration and automation, they are able to deliver a high-quality product more quickly.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Speed must not come at the expense of quality. That is why every version of the product undergoes testing and quality checks. This is the only way to ensure that it meets the original specifications and requirements. It also helps to minimise costs and rework in the long term.

Deployment

Is the product ready for action? If so, the next step is the deployment phase. Preparation, installation and getting it up and running: everything to help your customer get off to a flying start.

Maintenance

Your support teams continue to keep a close eye on things. A technical fault? Any additional requests or suggestions for improvement from the customer? Every update is an opportunity to make the product even better.
