DECEMBER 2022CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM 19Engineering teams struggle to develop solutions with embedded software and electronic information as the requirements of next-generation technologies change. Beyond these complexities are the stringent regulatory safety standard requirements, as errors in software codes can complicate things. Organizations must adopt different design protocols to take their evolutionary leap forward while saving cost and reducing time to market with fewer resources.One way to go is embracing engineering lifecycle management solutions that offer better collaboration and efficiency among software and system developers, giving them a vital perspective of the entire product lifecycle. The IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is an ideal solution for today's complicated product and software development needs. A leading IBM business partner, Softacus helps businesses embrace IBM's ELM software products and solutions with its four decades of experience in the IBM ecosystem and specialized consulting services. Together with Softacus' consulting expertise, the IBM ELM can be a real game-changer for many businesses. The company's IBM ELM implementation services deliver an integrated, end-to-end solution that offers complete transparency and traceability across engineering data, extending the functionality of typical ALM tools. "We help clients improve collaboration and communication among all stakeholders, from requirements to testing and deployment, enhancing decision-making, productivity, and overall product quality," states Jan Jancar, Solution Director at Softacus.Softacus applies its depth of knowledge to handle all engineering lifecycle processes, including marketing and sale of licenses. The company operates in the Automotive, Medical Device Development, Aerospace &Defense and Rail sectors. Its team advices customers about the agreements, helps with the installation, sets up and tunes the applications, and customizes solutions by writing extensions and adding integrations. Teams that work with Softacus on their ELM strategy can quickly track changes, mitigate risk, and save money with a comprehensive strategy.Softacus excels at migrating data from clients' legacy or third-party systems to newer IBM systems. It performs project and account management to fill gaps in off-the-shelf options by developing solutions based on clients' specific requirements. Softacus goes beyond reselling IBM products, hosting them as its solutions while managing IBM products at customer servers. It then takes clients through all stages of the engineering lifecycle, managing the requirements collection, design, development, planning, and testing of the solutions.Softacus always rallies to its clients' calls, most recently to help one implement the IBM ELM platform. The client had a failed implementation and needed someone to address their needs. Softacus came in and delivered end-to-end customer services, including setting up a demonstration of the ELM solution to show the value to its management. It helped the client choose the right licenses and avail the best pricing option. Softacus also installed and supported this application and adapted it to the client's requested processes. It quickly stepped in and met these requirements while providing their teams with the necessary training. For historical reasons, one part of the client's new platform was replaced with a third-party tool that was a better fit than an IBM solution. Softacus helped them integrate with this tool, providing a specialist that was well-versed in its use. This instance is a powerful statement to Softacus' dominance in the IBM space and beyond, highlighting its ability to remove complexity and successfully deploy the full potential of IBM products and solutions. With a partner like Softacus, integrating IBM products, processes, and industry knowledge becomes remarkably simple.
