Global Configuration Management
Variant management at scale
Global Configuration Management (GCM) in IBM ELM manages variants, versions, and baselines across your portfolio.
We set up GCM for parallel development and reuse across product lines.
GCM expertise
- Component architecture: reuse across projects.
- Stream management: complex branch and merge scenarios.
- Baseline management: consistent releases across tools.
Stream topology and variants
A GCM implementation depends on its stream topology. We design component and product stream hierarchies that match how your products develop. Baseline promotion, delivery, and change sets then stay predictable as the program grows.
Some programs build many variants from one platform: vehicle trims, avionics configurations, or customer-specific builds. We set up GCM so that each variant configuration shows which requirements, tests, and code apply to it.
