Modern product development demands tight alignment between requirements, implementation, validation, and product data. By seamlessly integrating PTC Codebeamer and Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE, PROSTEP enables a continuous Digital Thread across ALM and PLM - ensuring end-to-end traceability, consistent information, and efficient collaboration across engineering domains.

The solution automates the bidirectional exchange of requirements, test cases, change data, and documents. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards, improves transparency, and accelerates innovation - while allowing teams to continue working in their preferred systems.

Disconnected ALM and PLM systems create risks in complex, software-driven products. The PROSTEP Codebeamer–3DEXPERIENCE integration closes this gap by establishing a controlled, bidirectional synchronization layer between requirements management and product lifecycle management.

Requirements, defects, change requests, and documents are synchronized automatically or on demand. Traceability links are maintained consistently in both systems, enabling reliable impact analysis, audit-ready documentation, and faster decision-making.

As part of the PROSTEP Digital Thread Platform, this solution complements existing PLM and ALM backbones without replacing them.

Seamless Digital Process Chain

Tight integration of Codebeamer and 3DEXPERIENCE eliminates silos and ensures consistent traceability across domains.

Efficient Development of Smart Products

Connects mechanical, electrical, and software engineering - supporting interdisciplinary collaboration.

Higher Product Quality & Faster Innovation

Automated synchronization eliminates manual effort and ensures consistent data quality in both systems.

Bidirectional Synchronization

Requirements, defects, test cases, changes, and documents are synchronized in real time or via controlled triggers.

Scalable and High-Performance

Built on proven OpenPDM technology, supporting large data volumes and parallel processes.

Fully Extensible Solution

Based on predefined processes and templates, yet adaptable to customer-specific needs without starting from scratch.

This solution enables real-time synchronization and traceability between Codebeamer and 3DEXPERIENCE throughout the development lifecycle.
