Seamless Requirements Integration and Traceability Across ALM and PLM
Modern product development demands tight alignment between requirements, implementation, validation, and product data. By seamlessly integrating PTC Codebeamer and Siemens Teamcenter, 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.
End-to-End Traceability Across Requirements, Changes, and Product Data
Disconnected ALM and PLM systems create risks in complex, software-driven products. The PROSTEP Codebeamer–Teamcenter 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 Teamcenter eliminates silos and ensures consistent traceability across domains.
