Autonomous, AI-driven and other software-intensive products are complex to develop and support.
Trusted processes are a foundation for safe, secure and reliable products and an agile, resilient business. Stages supports those processes along the entire product life cycle.
Stages supports the whole process journey, from initial modelling to integrated process execution at a large scale.
Benefit from lean processes, accelerated rollouts
and having compliance under control
Reduce process overhead
Help eliminate inefficiencies by streamlining software, hardware and other development processes with a model-based approach.
Faster time to value with ready-made process frameworks
Significantly reduce development time by using established process templates instead of defining processes from scratch.
Decrease risk of noncompliance
Critical products are developed and operated in regulated environments where violations of safety, security and other quality standards have significant consequences.
General Motors
"Stages helped us immensely to improve just simply by getting all of our knowledge and all of your process elements in one formal system – and all are talking to each other. It helps get us out of the old way of thinking about processes in managing individual Excel files and PowerPoint files."
