Helix ALM chosen for Medtech development and test management

Helix ALM helps IMT to overcome some of the challenges of increasingly complex product development projects, including transparent reviews with customers of project progress, compliance to IEC 60601-1 and the rigour around the development process needed in safety-critical medical devices to fulfil ISO 13485 and FDA regulations.

Helix ALM achieves this through: risk analysis, automatic traceability across the entire development process, automatic compliance management and reporting, centralised requirements management, and deep-level test management capabilities.

It also enables seamless sharing of work items across documents, linking those items so that when a change is made in one place, it is replicated in all other relevant places too.

Established in 1991, IMT’s primarily engineering-focused workforce is based out of Switzerland and a smaller team based in Singapore. Says Benno Bieri, Business Development Manager & Senior Project Manager, IMT: “We chose Helix ALM because it provided excellent performance for the price. It met all our requirements, plus additional benefits such as automated synchronisation of work items across all documents and locations. We have had great support from Perforce and the implementation of Helix ALM was a good process.”
