(openPR) - Convergence 2008 in Detroit, Michigan marks the launch of Method Park’s new process management system “Stages for Automotive” to industry experts. This new tool is part of an extensive service and product portfolio especially designed for the automotive industry.
“Stages for Automotive” was developed to specifically address increasing automotive requirements in Quality, Complexity, Collaboration, and Compliance. It provides all the necessary elements and support to model, analyze, and enact processes for automotive products.

The Stages architecture also supports emerging methodologies such as AUTOSAR features and process definition.
