  Engineering the Product Lifecycle

  Designing in advance for the product lifecycle reduces the probability of problems with deployment, supportability and product retirement. Each phase has its own characteristics and challenges, and thinking them through in advance will result in requirements that would otherwise go unnoticed until too late. Experience and a structured process to identify these issues results in an improved user experience and reduced post-deployment support costs.

  Sound Systems Engineering is Critical

  Sound systems engineering that establishes consistent requirements and a well-thought-out architecture is critical to complex projects. A successful development effort is built on a foundation that includes specifications, concepts of operation and functional and physical decompositions that set the stage for a detailed design that is producible and meets user needs.
