System Engineering

We have turned our expertise in expert services that help you implement system engineering best practices to gain efficiency

Think big, Act small

We help you paint the picture of where you want to go. We help you get there in small steps, with clear proof-points.

Via Appia

Your road to simplified system engineering

Audit

We start with a discovery of your current operational process. This includes a deep analysis of your existing documentation & tool landscape. We document and visualize the ‘as is’ situation.

At the same time, we try to sketch a high-level assessment of the ‘to be’ situation. We prepare a high-level scope and budget to build a specific use case, as a ‘proof-of-concept‘. 

  • We setup a kick-off meeting, to align on objectives
  • We hold discovery workshops, to understand working
  • We hold a wrap-up meeting, to review recommendations
  • ‘As is’ operations landscape map
  • ‘As is’ operations process in BPMN, UML
  • ‘As is’ obstacle list
  • High-level proposal for ‘to be’ situation
  • Audit report with recommendations

Plan

We optimize operational efficiency by detailing the future process and identifying and solving potential obstacles. A scoped “proof-of-concept” validates proposed changes, with a joint effort to outline a plan and budget.

The early domain model proof-of-concept provides a tangible representation, ensuring a smooth transition and stakeholder alignment for a successful operational transformation.

  • Kick-off meeting to align on objectives
  • Discovery workshops for proof-of-concept
  • Wrap-up meeting to review recommendations
  • ‘To be’ operations landscape map
  • ‘To be’ operations process in BPMN, UML
  • ‘To be’ solution vs obstacle list
  • Proposal proof-of-concept scope & budget
  • Phase plan for implementation

Proof

The development process of the ‘proof-of-concept’ begins with the integration of data sources, followed by the creation of a domain model using our development accelerator.

We then focus on processing and testing data capture methods, fine-tuning, and testing the domain/graph model.

Finally, a collaborative effort is made to develop a comprehensive roll-out plan for the implemented data solution. This structured approach ensures a seamless and efficient development and deployment process.

  • Kick-off meeting to start development
  • Development sprints with regular reviews
  • Evaluation meeting to review proof-of-concept
  • Domain & graph model for first iteration
  • Needed data source connectors
  • Proof-of-concept in isolated environment
  • Phased plan, scope & budget for roll-out

Implement

We guide the roll-out of the first iteration in production,  supported by a fallback scenario to mitigate potential impacts.

Staff training is a key focus, covering the utilization of the accelerator and adapting to the new process.

This strategic approach ensures a smooth transition, minimizes disruptions, and maximizes the effectiveness of the integrated system in the production environment.

  • Kick-off meeting to align on roll-out objectives
  • Handover workshops to train staff
  • Wrap-up meeting to evaluate after 3 months
  • ‘Roll-out of first iteration, with agreed scope
  • Updated operational process
  • Training material
  • Agile roadmap for adapt phase
  • Scope & budget next iteration

Adapt

Utilizing continuous improvement sprints, teams align on the scope and deliverables for each iteration, focusing on refining processes.

This iterative cycle ensures ongoing alignment with objectives and a systematic evolution toward improved efficiency and outcomes.

  • Bi-weekly sprints for adaption within budget
  • Handover workshops to train staff
  • Wrap-up meeting after each phase
  • Continuous iterations
  • Updated operational process at each phase

Advisory services

We advise on introducing system engineering best practices, introducing 3D models and digital twins.

Integration services

We offer custom data integration, business process and domain modeling to adapt our accelerator to your needs

Partner services

We integrate our accelerator as a part of your solution. Examples are digital twins and support tools using augmented reality.
