Jama Connect® RM Requirements Management

Service

Jama Connect

A requirements management platform designed for highly regulated industries such as automotive, medical devices, aerospace, and robotics; Taiwan partner of Jama Software

What is Jama Connect RM (Requirement Management)?

Jama Connect is a globally leading Requirements Management (RM) and real-time traceability platform designed for enterprises developing highly complex and safety-critical products. It helps organizations continuously address three key challenges:

  • Are requirements complete, consistent, and controlled?
  • Are requirements, design, testing, and risk fully traceable throughout the entire process?
  • Are you always ready for regulatory audits and customer inspections?

Core Advantages

Live Traceability™

Requirements ↔ Design ↔ Testing ↔ Risk ↔ Defects
Any change is immediately reflected in its impact scope, preventing omissions

Built for Compliance

Includes industry best practices and compliance templates
Helps quickly align with international regulations and standards

Enhanced Cross-Functional Collaboration

R&D, testing, quality, and regulatory teams collaborate on a single platform
Significantly reduces document exchange and communication costs

Automotive Manufacturing: Accelerating Software-Defined Vehicle Development

The automotive industry is rapidly shifting toward Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), which imposes stringent challenges on functional safety and cybersecurity. Jama Connect for Automotive provides preconfigured frameworks and diagnostic tools to help you:

  • Core Compliance: Supports standards such as ISO 26262 (functional safety), ISO/SAE 21434 (cybersecurity), and ASPICE.
  • Supply Chain Collaboration: Enables lossless requirements exchange with complex supplier ecosystems via the ReqIF format.
  • TÜV SÜD Validation: The platform is certified by TÜV SÜD and is suitable for safety-related development.

Medical Devices: Simplifying Design Control and Regulatory Submissions

Medical device development is subject to the most stringent regulatory requirements. Jama Connect for Medical Device is designed to simplify complex Design Controls into a single platform, reducing audit risk:

  • Core Compliance: Supports FDA 21 CFR Part 820.30 (Design Controls), ISO 14971 (Risk Management), and IEC 62304 (Software Life Cycle).
  • Document Management: Efficiently manages and generates traceability documentation required for Design History Files (DHF) and Technical Files.
  • Risk Integration: Integrates risk analysis directly into requirements and verification processes to ensure product safety and efficacy.

Aerospace and Defense: Ensuring Mission-Critical System Success

In the development of air, space, maritime, and defense systems, mission success and safety-critical requirements are the highest standards. Jama Connect supports digital engineering practices by establishing a digital thread for systems engineering:

  • Core Applications: Supports project requirements from certification bodies such as FAA, EASA, and NASA.
  • MBSE Integration: Supports integration with SysML modeling tools, enabling Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices.
  • Secure Data: Provides a robust security architecture supporting the handling of export-controlled and restricted data such as ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).

Management Challenges for Highly Complex SoC and IC Products

  • Chip design involves multi-layered requirements across systems, hardware, software, and firmware.
  • Frequent specification changes make it difficult to quickly assess impact scope.
  • Customer requirements, automotive standards, functional safety requirements, and internal design rules coexist.

Requirements, verification, and design results are distributed across multiple tools.
