SOFTWARE & SYSTEM LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT TOOLS MARKET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES AND FORECASTS IN 2011 – 2014
Research Summary:
Over the next two years, more than 50% of embedded engineers expect projects to require some form of web connectivity. Because of this growing trend, engineers and IT developers are being forced to consider each other's system requirements and resources for their own designs. Interconnectivity is also having an impact on product delivery models, allowing for more efficient resource partitioning and creating demand for hosted services and real time access to tools and project analytics. Our 2011 Software and System Lifecycle Management Tools Market Intelligence Service will analyze the markets for embedded and enterprise/IT software and SSLM solutions, providing research deliverables throughout the service year. This in-depth market intelligence service from VDC will help suppliers and other stakeholders sharpen their value propositions and solution development efforts in the software and system lifecycle management tool market.

| Event Name: | Staying Competitive Requires Managing Change | Listen Now! |
| Overview: | If you’ve listened to other VDC QuickCasts or keep up on our blog, you have probably heard us talk about the seemingly endless increase in software code size and complexity. Software is accounting for an ever greater portion of system value and its development is consuming more and more of organizations’ time and budget. Companies are facing a crisis of complexity as the growth in software volume and complexity outpaces increases in their development budgets. During today’s QuickCast, VDC’s Andre Girard discusses some of the factors software developers face today and how they influence a few key trends in the software and systems lifecycle management market. | |

| Document Title: | Growing Value of Software Driving Increased Focus on Process & Coding Standardization | |
| Publication Date: | Jul, 2011 | |
| Excerpt: | Over recent years, the level of device and/or business system functionality driven by software has increased. VDC’s research shows that software now generates more than 50% of total embedded system development costs. Development organizations have responded to this growing need for software content by augmenting development resources, both in terms of expanding software engineering headcount as well as looking for new tools that can offer increased levels of automation. However, this growth in software content volume and developer productivity is not always met with a heightened focus on software quality. | |

| Document Title: | ALM, PLM & EDA: Will a Shared Vision of Integration Inhibit Change? | |
| Publication Date: | Apr, 2012 | |
| Excerpt: | There will always be a push and pull between engineering organizations and tool suppliers. Engineers will continue to look for ways to do more with less and tool suppliers will always look to justify continued or enhanced investment in their technology under the promise of improved efficiency, productivity and time to market. In addition to this seemingly never-ending push/pull scenario, today’s engineering organizations are under tremendous pressure to identify new ways to combat the rapidly increasing complexity of embedded system design. Because of this, many engineering organizations have reached a tipping point that is driving them to evaluate wholesale process and development paradigm shifts. | |

| Document Title: | SaaS for SSLM: Will Embedded Developers Embrace the Cloud? | |
| Publication Date: | Sep, 2012 | |
| Excerpt: | In the past few years, cloud-computing or Software as a Service (SaaS) has evolved from buzzwords du jour into a frequently utilized delivery method for business and consumer oriented applications. Software deployed as a hosted service, available over the Internet, can reduce implementation budget pressures through its lightweight model. This compelling value proposition is confirmed by the widespread use of solutions such as Salesforce.com, iCloud and Amazon Cloud. | |

| Document Title: | SSLM Purchase Decisions: Individual Mandate or Executive Level Policy? | |
| Publication Date: | Jul, 2012 | |
| Excerpt: | With software engineering and tool expenses consuming evermore of total product development costs, many engineering organizations find themselves reevaluating their incumbent development processes. This key corporate initiative to address the business development reality and inject the engineering lifecycle with new efficiencies is driving more OEMs to consider the strategic use and implementation of software and system lifecycle management (SSLM) tools. As a result of the growing importance of these tools, the related evaluation and purchase decisions are moving up the organizational ladder. | |
