Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): From Idea to Connected Product
Manage and ensure compliance of complex products and software.
ALM nas Indústrias
The Complexity of Industry 4.0
In a world of connected products (IoT), software is no longer an accessory, but the central competitive differentiator (the “brain” of the product).
The management of this software, especially in regulated industries, is fragmented. Some of these challenges include traceability between engineering requirements and code, insufficient testing, and slow response to critical bugs.
In this context, industries are choosing to use Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to bring order, transparency, and speed to this cycle.
What is ALM?
360º View of the Software Lifecycle. ALM is the discipline that manages the lifecycle of an application, from conception (requirements management), through development, testing, deployment, and maintenance, ensuring continuous traceability at every stage.
Requirements Management
Capture and alignment of product needs (coming from PLM/CAD) with development.
Development and Implementation
Support for Agile methodologies (Scrum) and DevOps, with version control and continuous integration.
Quality and Testing
Test case management, automation, and ensuring that the software meets security and performance requirements.
Delivery e Feedback
Efficient implementation and a fast feedback loop for continuous improvement (Defects/Issues Tracking).
The Benefits of ALM for Your Industrial Business
Full Traceability
Ensure the bidirectional link between the system requirement (PLM / Engineering) and the developed/tested code. Essential for audits and compliance (e.g., automotive, aerospace).
Cost and Risk Reduction
Identify bugs and scope deviations with greater accuracy and agility. Reduce rework and avoid costly recalls due to software failures.
Continuous Improvement
Unified Collaboration
Break down the silos between Engineering, IT, Quality, and Operations teams by using a single source of truth for all software assets.

The Connected Structure of OMC GROUP
ALM is part of an ecosystem. It integrates with and complements other lifecycle management processes. OMC GROUP combines these disciplines, ensuring that the software (ALM) evolves in perfect sync with the physical product (PLM).
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)
PLM feeds ALM with the functional and non-functional requirements of all products.
CAD (Computer-Aided Design)
CAD influences the software requirements (e.g., firmware that controls an actuator) that ALM manages.
SLM (Service Lifecycle Management)
ALM receives feedback (defects, improvements) from SLM to start new development and correction cycles.
