Specialized database products have been used since 1980 to support engineers in creating and communicating structured models of the systems they propose to develop. Although there are numerous variations now, it all started with Structured Analysis™ and a University of Michigan CASE tool known as PSL/PSA. We know. We were there.

You can gain control of your largest and most complex development.
Using a formal system engineering methodology and an associated CASE Tool can yield important benefits in terms of product quality, improved team communication and coordination while avoiding critical inconsistencies. You don’t want your retro rockets firing at 50 km up instead of 50 miles up. By capturing your system’s functionality and data structures in a database model, you can assure that when that information is rendered as a set of specification documents, the functional specifications, interface documents, and data dictionary will all be consistent.

Make sure that the potential cost savings you expected to realize with the CASE tool turn out to be real.

When you engage Teragon’s services, we will use our 25 years of experience to help you take command of your toolset. We will ensure we understand your unique environment and you understand the pros and cons associated with different options and approaches. We will help you establish naming conventions, clearly define modeling standards, and object ownership rules. We can do the initial seeding or conversion of the model from existing sources and create customized objects, relationships, attributes and reports.

With Teragon:

• Your engineers don’t need to learn yet another proprietary report generation language. We already know how.
• Your engineers won’t need to sit through two day classes on how to navigate through all the tool features. An in-house two hour class focused on your specific method and environment should be sufficient.
• They do not need to be burdened with tedious or redundant data entry. If we can’t automate it, we’ll at least do it cheaper.
• Your engineers shouldn’t need to run a configuration management gauntlet to update baselined systems. We’ve been there, done that, and can streamline the process.
• Your chief engineer does not need to become the resident tool guru (even if he loves to dabble). Leave the driving to us.

We’d like to hear what you’re hoping to achieve or the kind of problems you’d rather not have. You may find that your objectives are easier to achieve than you expected.
