Improve team collaboration with IBM Engineering Workflow Management

IBM EWM is an integrated engineering work management platform that goes significantly beyond task tracking. It combines work item management, sprint and program planning, distributed source control, build management, and defect tracking in a single environment — with every artifact linked via a traceable digital thread. Unlike generic project management tools, EWM is designed for engineering teams managing code, artifacts, and complex dependencies across regulated and safety-critical programs. It integrates natively with the broader IBM ELM suite (DOORS, Rhapsody, ETM) via open OSLC standards.

IBM EWM is available under three primary license types: authorized user licenses (assigned to a named individual), floating licenses (shared from a pool, suited to teams with intermittent access), and token licenses (flexible consumption drawn from a token pool, suitable for organizations deploying multiple IBM ELM products). Ownership models include perpetual licenses, fixed-term rental, and subscription. As an authorized IBM Platinum Partner and VAR, SodiusWillert can analyze your team structure, access patterns, and budget to recommend the most cost-effective licensing configuration — and manage the procurement process from quote to activation.

IBM EWM integrates natively with the full IBM ELM suite (DOORS, DOORS Next, Rhapsody, and Engineering Test Management) through OSLC-based links that maintain traceability across requirements, design, workflow, and test artifacts.

For third-party tools, SodiusWillert's OSLC Connect products extend integration to Jira, Confluence, and PTC Windchill.

For organizations using Jira as their agile delivery platform alongside IBM EWM for engineering work management, OSLC Connect for Jira provides live, bidirectional linkage without requiring data duplication or fragile middleware.

As an IBM Platinum Partner and authorized VAR, SodiusWillert provides the same IBM licensing terms as a direct purchase but adds significant value through deep implementation expertise, proprietary integration products, and dedicated post-deployment support.

Our team works exclusively within the IBM ELM ecosystem, which means practical knowledge of real-world deployment challenges, process configuration for regulated industries, and toolchain integration patterns that a generalist IBM reseller or direct IBM sales channel cannot provide. We are also the developers of OSLC Connect for Jira, SECollab, and related products that extend EWM's native capabilities
