Challenge	Alstom Transport, a promoter of sustainable mobility, was in need of a SysML (Systems Modeling Language) tools supplier that truly understood the standard. They conducted a comprehensive evaluation of all the leading SysML tools on the market, focusing on several key criteria: conformance with the SysML standard, ease of integration and extensibility, collaborative design, ability to manage product lines, and quality of support. As a multi-national company, Alstom Transport’s systems design projects involve teams in a variety of countries. Therefore, a development environment truly capable of supporting collaborative working across dispersed teams was important to Alstom Transport. Read More
About Customer	Alstom Transport is a promoter of sustainable mobility that develops and markets the most complete range of systems, equipment, and services in the railway sector. The company manages entire transport systems, including rolling stock, signaling, and infrastructure, and offers “turnkey” solutions.

Therefore, a development environment truly capable of supporting collaborative working across dispersed teams was important to Alstom Transport. Read More
Solution	During the evaluation process, Alstom Transport found that the Integrity Modeler would not only be able to significantly improve the quality of their overall systems engineering methodology, but would also reduce project design time and costs. Integrity Modeler’s ability to use the same OMG SysML modeling language and the same models without the risk of unintentionally duplicated items was crucial in enabling Alstom to meet its goals for future projects. PTC’s flagship modeling tool delivered on Alstom Transport’s technical requirements around compliance to the UML and SysML standards and OVM (Variability Modeling) in a single integrated toolset. With the tool, Alstom Transport implemented model-based product line engineering, i.e., modeling product lines and product families, making decisions on the variable options, and generating product instance models.
