75% Reduced Change Analysis

Client Profile

Our client is a world-leading manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, headquartered in New Delhi. With a dominant presence in India and a growing global footprint, the company is focused on high-volume product engineering, R&D excellence, and stringent quality and compliance. Its complex, distributed engineering programs are driven by digital transformation and lifecycle-led innovation.

Business Challenges

The company faced significant inefficiencies due to fragmented, document-centric engineering processes:

Siloed & Manual Processes:

Engineering data requirements, plans, test artifacts were managed in scattered Word and Excel files, hindering real-time collaboration and visibility.
Lack of a unified platform led to inconsistent ALM process coverage, especially in requirements management, testing, and verification tracking.

Limited Governance & Control

Absence of defined lifecycle workflows resulted in unclear artifact states and uncontrolled changes.
Granular access controls were difficult to enforce, posing risks to data integrity and ownership.

Scalability and Reuse Barriers

Managing multiple projects and artifacts required extensive manual effort, with no centralized oversight.
Inability to reuse templates and artifacts across projects led to repeated work and inconsistent standards.

Inefficient Reviews & Traceability Gaps

Review and approval cycles were manual and offline, slowing down project momentum.
Maintaining traceability between requirements, tests, and change items was complex and error-prone, complicating impact analysis and variant
management.

Our Solution

MicroGenesis implemented CodeBeamer ALM as a centralized digital engineering backbone, transitioning the client from document-driven practices to a governed, traceable, and collaborative ALM framework.
