In highly regulated industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical technology, transparency and compliance are not optional - they are business-critical. OpenCLM provides a secure and scalable foundation for cross-domain traceability, ensuring that product lifecycle information is consistently available, auditable, and compliant with regulatory requirements such as ISO 26262, ASPICE, DO-178C, or medical regulations.

By establishing a trusted traceability layer across heterogeneous system landscapes, OpenCLM enables executive teams to reduce compliance risk, improve governance, and maintain full lifecycle oversight - without disrupting existing PLM, ALM, or ERP platforms.

OpenCLM addresses these challenges by enabling cross-domain traceability and centralized information orchestration across PLM, ALM, ERP, and additional engineering /or enterprise systems through standardized connectors and adapters, linking business objects across domains to create a consistent and traceable Digital Thread. Instead of duplicating data, OpenCLM references information across systems, preserving data ownership while eliminating silos.

An intelligent process engine orchestrates workflows, approvals, and changes in a structured and traceable manner - supporting impact analysis, audit readiness, and controlled change management. Security is embedded by design, with centralized authentication and access control protecting sensitive IP and regulatory data.

Flexible deployment options - on-premises, cloud, hybrid, or SaaS - allow organizations to align OpenCLM with their IT and compliance strategies, providing a future-proof platform for regulated product development.

Regulatory Compliance with Confidence

Ensure continuous compliance with industry regulations through complete, audit-ready traceability across the product lifecycle.

Reduced Risk in Change & Release Decisions

Make informed executive decisions by understanding the full impact of changes across requirements, design, validation, and production.

Operational Efficiency in Regulated Environments

Automated traceability and orchestration reduce manual effort, rework, and audit preparation costs while accelerating time-to-market.

End-to-End Traceability Across Domains

Link requirements, functions, system models, designs and baselining, tests, and changes across PLM, ALM, and ERP systems.

Audit-Ready Evidence at Any Time

Automatically generate complete and consistent traceability evidence for audits, certifications, and regulatory reviews.

Controlled Change & Baselining

Support immutable baselines and structured change management across domains to ensure consistency and compliance.

Cross-Domain Baselining

Immutable baselines across domain systems ensure consistent version control, full traceability, and structured change management throughout all engineering disciplines.

Cross-Domain Traceability

End-to-end traceability across PLM, ALM, and ERP systems links data, processes, and business objects for seamless information flow.

Centralized Data Orchestration

Information from multiple engineering disciplines is synchronized and aligned, eliminating silos and establishing a single source of truth.

Requirements Management

Tracking requirements consistently across domains ensures compliance, traceability, and structured version control.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Automated logging and immutable change tracking provide structured, audit-ready documentation across all project phases.

Seamless Process Integration

Cross-domain workflows, tasks, and approvals are connected to enable end-to-end visibility, collaboration, and efficient decision-making.

OpenCLM provides a scalable and flexible infrastructure for cross-domain collaboration and information orchestration. Systems are connected via standardized connectors and adapters, enabling traceability through the linking of business objects across PLM, ALM, and ERP environments.

By referencing information across domains rather than duplicating data, OpenCLM breaks down silos while preserving system ownership. An intelligent process engine guides workflows and ensures structured, traceable operations. Security is built in by design, with centralized authentication and access control protecting sensitive information.

OpenCLM can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, as a hybrid model, or as a SaaS solution - adapting seamlessly to evolving business and IT requirements while providing a future-proof foundation for the Digital Thread.

OpenCLM TRACEABILITY is an integral part of the PROSTEP Digital Thread Platform and leverages proven system connectors to ensure seamless access to PLM, ALM, and other enterprise systems.

Standard connectors are available for leading platforms, while additional systems can be integrated quickly using the PROSTEP connector template. This ensures a fully interconnected ecosystem with continuous data flow and optimal collaboration.
