usb announces XOpenDoor-New product integrates Telelogic DOORS® with Agile PLM solutions Agile 9 and Agile e6

Agile partner usb GmbH, a specialized consulting company for configuration and requirements management in the domain of PLM, based in Unterfoehring/Munich, introduced today its first release of the integration product XOpenDoor. XOpenDoor enables information defined and kept in the requirements management tool Telelogic DOORS® to be used in Agile's Enterprise PLM solutions.

Telelogic DOORS®, the world's leading requirements management tool, helps to deliver quality by optimizing requirements communication, collaboration, and verification across the enterprise. Based on latest XML Technologies, XOpenDoor publishes all requirements, captured and maintained in DOORS, into Agile's PLM Solutions. In addition, XOpenDoor enables bidirectional communication between the requirements management stored in DOORS and the product record managed in Agile PLM. This allows users to verify product information in different lifecycle stages against the initial requirements and to give automatic feedback to DOORS. With this methodology, requirements and the "real world" in PLM will be always in sync and discrepancies will be identified faster. Companies will be able to leverage upfront investments in requirements management throughout the entire product lifecycle, and they can use requirements traceability against the product record as an efficient mechanism to improve overall product quality.

usb has focused on configuration and requirements management for the last 25 years and has established strong technology partnerships with Agile and Telelogic. The development of XOpenDoor arose from customer input from both sides, and utilized usb's experience to deliver such efficient and powerful integration.
