What is a requirement?
To quote the Institute for Configuration Management (ICM) in Phoenix, Arizona: „A requirement is not a requirement, until it is documented, validated and released”

What is requirement management?
Information management is the core of requirement management and includes organisation, traceability, analysis and visualization.

Definition of configuration management (CM):

CM is a discipline that uses technical and administrative regulations and surveillance processes in the following cases:

• the identification and documentation of functional and physical criteria of one item under configuration control 
• the control of these criteria
• tracking and highlighting change status and product data
• controllingf the compliance to specifications and to other contractual requirements

Once you have chosen a product data management system (PDM) the next step is the implementation and adaptation of the system to your company specific circumstances. For this we suggest a gradual approach. At the date of the implementation a concept for extension is developed which determines the future upgrading steps. Thus the initial expense can be kept small, the upgrade can be adjusted to the customer's financial capacities and possibly a small functional overlap with an existing production planning system can be achieved. Once all preparations are made the next step is a system test in a delimited testing area. If the tests are completed successfully the gradual transfer to the organisational units follows.

In order to negogiate the complex environment of projects within the field of PLM, the most important factors are competence and communication skills, along with technical knowledge. Our customer-specific software development projects benefit from this experience, too. usb implements extensive software projects with accuracy, with regard to the deadline and with exact documentation. As a general rule we also support our customers after the completion of the project.

IT systems are supposed to help companies to reach their aims better, faster, safer and easier. Before these goals can be achieved, an analysis phase has to be established. Here the project's goals are defined and a current balance review will be conducted. Based on this analysis, strategies are developed to effectively reach the targets.
