IBM renamed the IBM RELM - IBM Rational Engineering Lifecycle Management

IBM is renaming IBM Continuous Engineering to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management and renaming the family of products in this portfolio. IBM recognizes that product development is getting more complex with shrinking product lifecycles, more technical savvy and demanding customers, and growing compliance and regulatory requirements; and IBM wants to make sure our product naming does not compound this complexity. IBM wants customers to be able to easily identify a products’ function by its name.

IBM wants to ensure that our existing customers recognize our focus/investment, and that the marketplace in general and new customers in particular can easily identify which of our products cover major development disciplines – requirements, test, etc

Listing of the major product renaming:

IBM Collaboration Lifecycle Management (CLM) renamed to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM)
IBM Rational DOORS renamed to IBM Engineering Requirements DOORS Management DOORS Family
IBM Rational DOORS NG renamed to IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next
IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) renamed to IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM)
IBM Rational Quality Manager (RQM) renamed to IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM)
