• Techniques
• Resources
• Services

IT system specialty groups

Systems engineering focuses on identifying requirements early in the development  life cycle. It considers the entire problem space. Taking all aspects and variables into account and relating the social to the technical aspects. Then it  proceeds with design synthesis, integrating  all the specialty groups such as:

Cost Development Disposal Manufacturing Operations Performance Process Improvement

Risk Assessment Schedule Support Test Training Verification

 

Into a team effort in a structured development process that proceeds from concept, design synthesis, validation, deployment to production and operation.
