Requirements & Systems Portal Application Now Available on the Altium 365 Cloud Platform
September 13, 2024 | AltiumEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Altium, a global leader in electronics design systems, announced today that it has launched the Requirements & Systems Portal Application into the Altium 365 cloud platform for electronics design collaboration. The Requirements & Systems Portal helps to ensure visibility and awareness of functional requirements from concept to manufacturing, improving upon cost, quality, and risk in the product development process.
The launch follows Altium’s acquisition of Valispace earlier this year. Valispace is a game-changing Systems and Requirements Engineering tool that joins system design and requirements engineering with an AI-assisted and data-driven approach.
The electronics design process is disconnected and plagued by rework because the work of PCB design engineers is often disconnected from system requirements. The Requirements & Systems Portal ensures that electrical teams can write, manage, and verify their requirements directly in the Altium 365 ecosystem, allowing team members from different disciplines to view requirements in the context of their designs. When electrical engineers, electrical managers, systems architects and external stakeholders all have access to the same information, everyone on the team knows they are working with the latest values and up-to-date specifications.
The integration of the Requirements & Systems Portal into Altium 365 extends the platform’s capability as an end-to-end development platform and supports Altium’s goal of connecting everyone involved in the electronics development process.
“The Requirements & System Portal on Altium 365 supercharges innovation and accelerates time to market,” said Ananth Avva, VP and GM of Cloud Platform, Digital Industries, at Altium. “By bringing product-level context to the entire electronics design process, engineers can effortlessly ensure requirements are met across applications like supply chain and simulation. This puts systems thinking at the forefront, empowering engineers to thrive in today’s competitive landscape and deliver world-class electronic products.”

The Right Approach: Get Ready for ISO 9001 Version 6
09/10/2025 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachWe are well past the normal five to seven years that a new revision of the ISO 9001 international quality standard gets released. It may be finished toward the end of 2025, with implementation starting in 2026, and there will be as many significant changes as we saw in the current 2015 version.
Advancing Electrolytic Copper Plating for AI-driven Package Substrates
08/05/2025 | Dirk Ruess and Mustafa Oezkoek, MKS’ AtotechThe rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has become a pivotal force driving growth in the server industry. Its challenging requirements for high-frequency and high-density computing are leading to an increasing demand for development of advanced manufacturing methods of package substrates with finer features, higher hole densities, and denser interconnects. These requirements are essential for modern multilayer board (MLB) designs, which play a critical role in AI hardware. However, these intricate designs introduce considerable manufacturing complexities.
Creating a Design Constraint Strategy
07/24/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamMost designers learn how to set their design constraints through trial and error. EDA vendors’ guidelines explain how to use their particular tools’ constraints, and IPC standards offer a roadmap, but PCB designers usually develop their own unique styles for setting constraints. Is there a set of best practices for setting constraints? That’s what I asked Global Electronics Association design instructor Kris Moyer, who covers design constraints in his classes.
