Our solutions

Built around the standard your auditor uses

Each industry page starts from the standards your assessors, certification authorities or regulators expect. We map them to work products in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management, connect HCLSoftware and GitLab where code and releases live, and train your team on the result.

Standards mapped to work productsTemplates and reports your assessor recognises.
One trace, requirement to releaseAcross requirements, models, tests and pipelines.
On-premise, cloud or air-gappedWhere your programme rules require it.
Training in four languagesEnglish, German, Polish or Spanish.

Your industry is not on the list? We map your standard too.

Functional safety and risk you can show to a notified body

Machines, plants, reactors and medical devices: hazards linked to requirements, tests and the documents a regulator signs off.

Machinery, plants, grids and reactors share the IEC 61508 roots. We reuse one hazard and requirement structure.Talk to a safety consultant

2 industries

Hardware, firmware and network requirements in one trace

For suppliers whose customers build cars, aircraft and networks, and now the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

2 industries

ICT change and tender requirements you can prove

From regulation and tender to release and acceptance, with security tests and controlled deployments as evidence.

One platform behind every industry

The industry changes the standards and the templates. The tools and the way we set them up stay the same, so your teams and suppliers can work in one trace.

Questions buyers ask

Our industry or standard is not listed. Can you still help?

Yes. The twelve pages show where we work most often. For another standard we start with a short mapping: which work products, traces and reviews it expects, and how to produce them in your tools.

Do we need all IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management tools?

No. Most teams start with IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next and add test, workflow or configuration management when the standard or the programme needs it.

Can you work on-premise or in an air-gapped network?

Yes. We install and run the platform on your servers, in a private cloud or in networks without internet access.

Do you work with our suppliers or OEM?

Yes. We set up requirement exchange with ReqIF and shared configurations, so both sides keep one trace without copying documents.
