– ’60s - ’70s: CAD systems, Billing systems
– ’80s - ’90s: ERP, CRM systems
– 2000: The Internet is interconnecting vendors, suppliers and individuals
– 2010: Internet of Things (IoT)

Increasing Product Complexity
8
– IoT changes product lifecycles
– New challenge to companies – integrate connected lifecycles:
• Innovation
• Product
• Application
• Service
– Overlapping, interconnected lifecycles single lifecycle (xLM)

Connecting Lifecycles (xLM)
Lifecycle Management
9
• Integration of Suppliers: increasing complexity necessitates closer
collaboration with suppliers
• Integration of Lifecycles: management approach to support xLM
• Integration of Tools and Technologies: practical / technical aspect to
integrate tools & platforms
Holistic integration of previously disparate processes, lifecycles,
platforms, quality assurance practices

The Three Dimensions of xLM Integration
10
• Product reliability & maintenance (zero planned downtime)
• Functional safety
• Data security
• Compliance with standards (or stringent safety regulations even in the
absence of standards)
QA is another challenge with xLM

Reliability, Safety, Security and Compliance
11
• No single tool available to manage interconnected lifecycles
• Holistic integration of data and systems to support the changing
management aspect
• Continuous monitoring of processes, tasks, documents, lifecycles
