This template has been created in PowerPoint 2003
Depending on how the source file was formatted, some slides will not ideally reformat once the template is applied. Therefore, some reformatting will be necessary.
Reapply slide layouts: Task Pane / Slide Layout
Can be applied thru normal or slide sorter view
May have to reapply the layouts more than once in order to take effect
Limit altering slide layout attributes on your slide (fonts, positioning, text box anchoring, positioning, etc.), this will create less reformatting rework when switching templates in the future or repurposing this slide in other presentations. Use “shift returns” if text wraps are needed to wrap around imagery.
If slide layout customization is needed, it’s advised to break the customized text box from the slide layout by selecting the bounding box of the altered text box and cutting it from the slide, apply either the title slide layout or the blank layout, and then paste the text box back onto the slide. Your custom-formatting of the text layout will then be retained for future repurposing in other presentations.
Recolor graphics if needed by using the embedded color palette swatches already in this template.
Slide text: Don’t create long sentences or paragraphs on slides. Use concise bulleted list format. Use speaker notes for supporting bulleted content to avoid slides that are too text heavy.
Use sentence case capitalization for presentation titles, slide titles, category labels and bullets: Format / Change Case / Sentence Case. Initial capitalization is limited to our products and offerings.
When referring to our products, use the correct full name, (e.g., IBM Rational ClearCase). See “IBM Rational A-Z Product List” on the Rational brand All-in-One-page for reference:
Avoid using cartoon like clip-art, use photo-art instead. Third party material cannot be used in a presentation without written permission (this includes product and Web page screen shots). Images must be acquired from a ‘royalty-free to use’ source such as:

4. ALM / PLM Interoperability
In many products, Software is part of a System
But the engineering processes and tools are still separated
Many problems are the same as in the ALM world alone (with separated tools):
islands of information, lots of manual activities, lack of communication, …
Or even worse:
walls of isolation, cultural differences, different (technical) languages
Electrical Engineering
Software Engineering
Mechanical Engineering

5. Integrating PLM and ALM Integrated Product Change Management
SOA and Service Orchestration
Event Management
Workflow Notifications

“Open Services
for Lifecycle
Collaboration”
New innovation underway: The Jazz project People working together to deliver great software and systems
Jazz is a project and platform for transforming how people work together to deliver greater value and performance from their software and systems investments.
A scalable, extensible team collaboration platform
A community at Jazz.net where you can see Jazz-based products being built
Our vision of the future of software and systems delivery – supporting globally distributed, fluid and dynamic teams
An evolution of our portfolio which will evolve to leverage Jazz technology over time

8. Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration
 everybody heard about OSLC?
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration
What is OSLC ? (video 4:20 min) 
Aimed at simplifying tool integration across the product delivery lifecycle
Community Driven – specified at
Specifications for ALM and PLM Interoperability
Inspired by Internet architecture
Loosely coupled integration with “just enough” standardization
Common resource formats and services
A different approach to industry-wide proliferation
Barriers to sharing resources and assets across the software lifecycle
Multiple vendors, open source projects and in-house tools
Private vocabularies, formats and stores
Entanglement of tools with their data
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration

9. OSLC and Open Community A Snapshot In Time
Eleven workgroups operating
Across a variety of lifecycle domains
With a Core/common OSLC workgroup
And special interests from PLM/ALM constituents
Community
430+ registered community members
Individuals from 30+ different companies have participated in OSLC workgroups 11 11

10. OSLC PLM Workgroup aims
We are focusing on improving ALM-PLM process support through tool interoperability enabled by
Usage of the existing OSLC Specs in a ALM-PLM setting
Extension of the existing OSLC Specs to support PLM behaviour of OSLC resources

provided additional ALM and PLM tool generated files
Using the sequence diagram navigator it is possible to
understand the collaborations needed for the ALM and PLM tools
explore the PLM Reference Model at each evolution of the scenario through SysML, STEP and ALM and PLM
Additional files available
XML and OWL representations of the STEP file
Generated PLM XML files
The tools applied have been
topcased 3.4.1
