BigLever Customers

We succeed when you succeed.

Our customers are unique — yet, they have something important in common.

Each BigLever customer has its own unique objectives, strategies and initiatives — as well as distinctive organizational personalities and technical environments. Yet, we’ve found that they share a common characteristic, and a common goal.

That common characteristic is boldness — the bold desire and drive to push beyond the limits of traditional thinking and traditional approaches, to pursue a new way of operating that redefines the fundamentals of how they create, deliver, evolve, and compete with their product lines.

Their shared goal is competitivenessĀ — the ability to truly “engineer” their own competitive advantage by breaking through the previous constraints of their engineering capacity to pursue their business goals in a way that just wasn’t possible before. That’s why these companies embrace Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE). That’s why they choose to work with BigLever.


At BigLever, we call it the ā€œdiscontinuous jumpā€.

The exciting thing about discontinuous jumps is that they open up new frontiers, offering new possibilities that could not be conceived of under traditional approaches.

With Feature-based PLE, the scale of a product line and the scope of diversity within that product line can be based on business opportunities and profitability — rather than impeded by the mounting complexity and limitations imposed by traditional approaches. The windows of possibility, and profitability, open much wider when an organization takes the leap to PLE.
