IoT is Everywhere.
How does that change our world?
1. Accessible from anywhere
2. Automatically optimizes for cost/comfort
3. Automatically adjusts based on “presence”
4. Provides individual and aggregate reporting
5. Updates delivered continuously OTA

Best Practices:
• End-to-End Visibility and Traceability:
• Connect and orchestrate PLM, ALM, CD, OTA workflows
• Integrate data of all product components into single EBOM
• Global team visibility

• Accelerated Delivery:
• Remove error-prone, labor intensive manual tasks and transi6ons or hand off among
hardware, so@ware, and delivery teams
• Reducing Design-to-Deliver cycles across hardware and so@ware teams
• Parallelize and accelerate various tasks in elas6c private / semi-private cloud

• Predictable Quality:
• Test integrated systems earlier and more o@en
• Consistent build, test, release environment to prevent environmental bugs
• Accelerated compliance verifica6on and on-demand compliance report

PLM + ALM + CD = Multi Domain Continuous Delivery
Global Team Coordination
Before:
•  Redundant low utilization infrastructure for each team
•  Multiple admins
•  Inconsistent infrastructure
•  No one can see the whole system
•  Very hard to troubleshoot issues
•  Lack of visibility to many different projects and groups
Users in region A
Users in region B
Users in region C
Users in region D
High available, horizontal scalable
cloud resource manager
Consolidated dashboards for
All projects from diﬀerent
regions
Compu6ng resources as
private cloud accessible from all regions
After:
•  Less hardware BUT much higher utilization
•  Consistent tool chain, configuration, and environment
•  Centralized views to all projects in different regions
•  Drill down views to accelerate troubleshooting
•  Fast issues detection and resolution
•  Divert human resources from managing manual process to R&D
•  Authentication and Authorization for global Intellectual Property protection
