Case Study: Lumen Freedom achieves simpler engineering lifecycle management and faster innovation with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management and DOORS Next

Lumen Freedom standardizes its engineering lifecycle management onto a common platform

Lumen Freedom, a manufacturer of wireless charging systems for electric vehicles, needed a way to manage rapidly growing product complexity as it expanded from a few hundred to nearly 10,000 requirements across multiple customer-specific variants. The company turned to IBM and IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, as part of IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management, to better control its automotive development lifecycle.

IBM implemented a centralized, SaaS-based lifecycle management platform with Olive Grove IT support, enabling Lumen Freedom to trace requirements, testing, defects, and validation across teams in one tool. The result was stronger collaboration, better workload balancing, and the ability to handle major growth without increasing staff size, while improving efficiency and helping the team get designs right the first time.
