After a thorough review, the ASAP Group was confirmed as a new member with a focus on codebeamer in the PTC partner network. ASAP is thus a Preferred Partner in the DACH region and, on the recommendation of PTC, takes over the implementation of codebeamer for customers as well as support throughout the entire product life cycle. ASAP's customers thus benefit from numerous advantages such as prereleases, which enable ASAP to test new functions at an early stage and take them into account in the planning of customer projects. In addition, ASAP will further expand its training offer around codebeamer and, as a PTC partner, will be involved in the strategic further development of the codebeamer product at an early stage. "We are proud to be part of the PTC partner network and look forward to the cooperation," says Michael Neisen, CEO of the ASAP Group. "On the one hand, it makes our in-depth know-how around the ALM tool codebeamer even more visible. On the other hand, joining is of strategic importance for us, as we will expand our services around codebeamer even further in the future." Gernot Joswig, COO of the ASAP Group at the Wolfsburg location, adds: "At ASAP, we have already worked with the codebeamer product in numerous projects and have accordingly built up extensive know-how in both breadth and depth. Today, we employ more than 60 people around our services for the ALM tool. Joining the PTC partner network was therefore the next logical step for us to be able to expand our customer base for codebeamer services beyond the automotive industry.
Consistent services for codebeamer
With its in-depth expertise in both the ALM tool codebeamer and A-SPICE conformity, ASAP convinced the decision-makers at PTC – because experts from both sides are necessary for optimal support of customer projects. ASAP offers integrated services for the development and integration of codebeamer: from data model and template development, process development according to Automotive SPICE, extension, adapter and methodology development as well as rapid prototyping to automation, project migration and 3rd level support. ASAP uses cross-functional teams with experts for project and process management, Automotive SPICE, E/E test management, migration and software. For many tasks, such as data model development for codebeamer, a distinct overall understanding of the development is required. In addition, ASAP also analyses the development processes and advises on them – for example, whether and in what form they can be mapped in codebeamer or whether an adaptation is necessary to ensure conformity with A-SPICE. Furthermore, ASAP has in-depth know-how about the implementation of codebeamer and can further develop the tool according to customer-specific requirements in the form of extensions. Even the most individual functions are integrated in this way and newly developed features are then transferred by ASAP to the tool manufacturer for long-term integration and maintenance. In order to make data exchange with codebeamer as simple as possible for all departments, ASAP also develops the necessary adapters for connecting all development tools to the tool. These enable direct data exchange and thus also hard links between the data. ASAP also takes over the migration of all development artefacts into codebeamer during ongoing series production and first prepares the source systems for their compatibility with the target system codebeamer. So that the data does not have to be migrated manually, ASAP also takes over the conception, development and implementation of automation solutions in this step. Finally, ASAP also creates tutorial videos and documentation, organises training courses and workshops and takes over change management as an accompanying measure to the conversion to codebeamer.
