case study - UML CONSULTANCY: ANALYSIS AND TOOLS

The Issue

The client is a well-respected computer software company working across the world and has customers in the Aerospace, Military and Avionics sector who are using UML. This is not their area of expertise and they identified a need for some of their engineers to have a good pragmatic understanding of UML and the environments in which their customers are operating in to gain a business advantage in creating awareness and understanding on what tools are available and how they are being used.

The Solution

Objektum developed a 2 day bespoke workshop-based solution with consultancy for the core team of engineers to look without bias at various toolsets and their functionality, to give an understanding of UML, how it is integrated, code generation strategies including customisation and future capabilities. The workshop focused entirely of the needs of the client and was an independent analysis of the use of UML and its toolsets.

The Outcome

Through this intensive workshop and our expertise and independent advice, the client was able to better understand how their tool integrates with other tools and how their customers are working in a model driven environment. Acquiring a solid understanding of UML has given our client a competitive advantage over competitors and the team are now looking to the future and model driven development.
