This document discusses integrating ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems through business process management. It outlines key capabilities like process integration to manage hardware and software requirements together. Connecting ALM-PLM involves data exchange and workflows to map software tests to hardware and integrate change/defect processes. Benefits include increased revenues, cost savings, faster time to market, and end-to-end traceability across development phases from design to manufacturing.
