Overview
editMKS Integrity is now a PTC product since the acquisition of MKS Inc., which was completed on May 31, 2011, by PTC.[1]
PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager is built around a single repository. This single-repository solution[buzzword] supports the three pillars of lifecycle management—traceability, process automation, and reporting and analytics[2] and some companies may see additional value in this approach.[3]
Integration of PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager with IDEs and other development tools is—out-of-the-box—limited to a few products. Supported IDEs include Eclipse[4] and Visual Studio.[5] Also supported are IBM i and Apache Maven.
History
editPTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager was previously known under different brands, including MKS Source, MKS Integrity Manager, Implementer (for IBM i), and others. These were consolidated under a single brand, with the release of MKS Integrity 2007 in July 2007, which was acquired by PTC and finally renamed PTC Integrity in 2011.[6] PTC retired the Integrity brand and rebranded Integrity to Windchill starting in July 2019.[7]
