## About Perforce IPLM
Perforce IPLM (formerly Helix IPLM) is an IP lifecycle management platform that tracks IP and its metadata across projects to enable end-to-end traceability, accelerate the release process, and provide a single source of truth for all design elements. Perforce IPLM helps organizations address ever-increasing design complexity by providing a centralized system for design management across all types of projects and platforms. This enables an IP-centric design methodology that allows your team to: - Eliminate project-centric design silos to improve collaboration. - Find and reuse IP more effectively to avoid “reinventing the wheel.” - Achieve end-to-end traceability to ensure regulatory compliance and understand the cross-project impact of known issues. - Streamline design efforts with seamless coordination across teams and projects.
