IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management ELM
The development of products and software is becoming increasingly complex, particularly due to strict safety requirements and regulations as well as the management of numerous lifecycles and design variants. GADV specialises in linking powerful systems to improve business processes and offers a comprehensive solution with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM).
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management
Automated testing
- Faster time to market: Automated tests make it possible to develop and roll out new features faster and more reliably.
- Improved collaboration: Automated tests optimise collaboration between development and quality assurance.
- Risk minimisation: Early detection of defects reduces the risk of costly rework in later phases of the product cycle.
- Scalability: Automated tests are particularly important for complex products and growing teams, as they ensure a high level of test coverage.

FMEA interface
As part of its risk analysis, GADV has developed a unique software module that seamlessly integrates Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) into IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM). This exclusive module automates numerous processes and prevents unnecessary duplication of work, reducing development times by up to 20%. With the GADV FMEA interface, we enable automated data exchange that replaces manual transfer and reduces sources of error.

PMi
The unique PMi tool connects your planning tool with EWM.
Many companies have established their own planning tools to carry out resource and budget management across many projects and departments.
Once a project has started or completed rough planning, detailed planning takes place in IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) takes place. As an interface, the PMi tool prevents data from having to be entered and exchanged twice manually.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM)?
IBM ELM is a modular platform for managing the entire product and software development cycle - including requirements management, test management, planning and risk analysis.
What advantages does ELM offer companies?
ELM improves collaboration between teams, increases transparency in the development process, reduces error costs and supports compliance with regulatory requirements.
How does GADV support the introduction of IBM ELM?
GADV offers consulting, implementation, integration and support - including customised extensions such as the FMEA interface or the PMI-tool.
What is the FMEA interface from GADV?
The FMEA interface integrates the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis directly into IBM ELM, automates processes and supports standards such as ISO 26262 and IEC 61508.
What does the PMi tool from GADV do?
The PMi (Project Management Interface) connects external planning tools such as MS Project with IBM EWM and avoids duplicate data entry through automated data synchronisation.
What role does automated testing play in IBM ELM?
Automated tests enable faster releases, early error detection, lower risks and better scalability - especially for complex projects.
Is IBM ELM also suitable for regulated industries?
Yes, the platform is particularly suitable for safety-critical industries such as automotive, medical technology or aviation, which are subject to strict standards
How flexible is the solution?
ELM is highly scalable, has a modular structure and can be seamlessly integrated into existing system landscapes - with support for common interfaces and APIs.
Can existing processes be mapped in ELM?
Yes, with interfaces and customisations from GADV, ELM can be tailored precisely to your processes and company structure.
What support does GADV offer in the long term?
We support you in all phases - from requirements analysis and implementation to training, support and continuous further development of your ELM system.Solution..
