Compliance
Today virtually all product engineering companies, whether they are developing software for medical devices or automotive components or the aerospace and defence industry, face a growing challenge of compliance to regulations and standards. The demands to document and report on processes, show traceability across assets and activities and prove that risks have been mitigated are driving up cost, lengthening cycle times and increasing risk.
To consistently address compliance needs without excessive cost and effort you must clearly understand the challenges as well as provide solutions to address them. PTC and Integrity have been providing solutions and expertise in compliance to engineering regulations and standards for over 10 years.
The table below lists common challenges associated with compliance and governance, along with PTC Integrity's capabilities that will help you solve them.
| Issue | PTC Integrity Solution Capability and Benefits |
|---|---|
| Manual and Inconsistent Processes Audit costs go up significantly when processes are not well documented or are manual. Automation plays a major role in the cost and effort required for compliance. |
|
| Manual Document Management When requirements, specifications, risks, test cases, etc, are managed manually in spreadsheets and word processors, change management, traceability, and impact analysis are all severely hindered. |
|
| Inability to Manage Growing Product Lines Documented and automated reuse across product variants improves quality and reduces the cost of compliance. |
|
| Disconnected Tools and Repositories Data redundancy, siloed processes, and disconnected tools leads to lack of auditability and errors. |
