For companies working within regulated industries, achieving and maintaining compliance is critical to overall business success. Meeting the requisite compliance standards ensures the product’s quality and safety, which can have life-saving implications. With such high stakes, the road to compliance is an all-important one. Until a product is deemed compliant, it can’t generate revenue. So how can your organization accelerate the road to compliance?

Engineers across industries are using AutoCAD + game engines, like Unreal. Why? AutoCAD can be used to create comprehensive technical designs which are required for manufacturing and testing. For product visualization, game engines shine. When combined, they can maximize innovation. Learn more about this powerful duo and discover why teams are adding the Unreal game engine to their use of AutoCAD.

To meet the ever-increasing demand for new video games, teams need to move faster than ever. Keeping up with releases and producing new game assets can be challenging, even for the largest studios. To accelerate development without sacrificing quality, many teams look to past projects, and their corresponding game assets. Game asset recycling saves time, allowing coders and creatives to innovate using existing materials. But how can you share game assets across teams and projects? Learn how.

Earlier this year, Perforce hosted the Embedded DevOps Summit, exploring solutions to modern challenges in the planning, development, and testing stages of embedded software. As part of this event, Warren Savage, Visiting Researcher at the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland, presented Secure Collaboration in Cloud-Based Chip Design Environments.

Ensuring and verifying that your codebase is compliant with a particular coding standard or industry regulation can be a difficult and time-consuming process. However, by using a static code analysis tool — such as Helix QAC and Klocwork — you can generate a compliance report to see whether your codebase is compliant or not.

As Atlassian has decided to deprecate their server products, including Jira Server and Confluence Server, game studios using these products have to look for alternatives, or swallow the cost to migrate to Atlassian’s other products (Cloud or Data Center). Let’s explore how life may look like after Jira, as this is something we have discussed with several game studios since Atlassian made their announcement .

In the previous article we discussed how to enable a server initiated encrypted connection to a Microsoft SQL Server. But what if we have a scenario where we do not want to incur the overhead of encryption for every application? In that scenario instead of configuring the server to force encryption we will instead need the client to initiate the encrypted connection.

Within application lifecycle management, one of the most significant challenges for practitioners and managers alike is visibility. More specifically, the lack of real-time visibility at any given moment of development. With a comprehensive lifecycle management tool like Helix ALM, your entire team can enjoy clear visibility throughout the lifecycle of your product. Here are four reasons why visibility is crucial for success in lifecycle management.

Network encryption is a vital security step in hardening your application and guarding your data. Additionally, it is more often becoming a requirement by many organizations and laws (like HIPAA). In this article, we will discuss how to secure network communication between your application and the SQL Server database using an encrypted connection. We will demonstrate how encryption can be enabled and leveraged from SourcePro DB with no source code changes to your application.

Hardware design typically entails teams of many designers with a wide range of disciplines. Each of these designers manage a different aspect of the project, maybe with different workflows, and generate a large amount of diverse data. Data management tools like Helix Core manage a substantial portion of this data. In this blog, find out how these tools are best used with an IP lifecycle management platform like Methodics IPLM to solve the unique challenges for hardware design projects.
