3SL Presents CRADLE

From Concept to Creation.......

A truly effective systems engineering environment must go beyond simply notations and techniques.

It must provide a complete framework, a clear and simple means of gathering and refining requirements, and then seamlessly translate them into implementable designs.

Whether your development projects are large or small, simple or complex, their success depends on the effective control and management of every aspect of their implementation.

From initial planning and design, through implementation, project management and beyond, turning requirements into high-quality systems, demands an effective engineering environment.

With its comprehensive modelling and management tools, Cradle provides design rigour and control over every aspect of the engineering process.

Highly automated and totally integrated, Cradle replaces disparate, often incompatible products with a single, coherent development environment.

With its powerful analytical and workflow management capabilities, Cradle creates a more productive environment.

Cradle can help you realise significant benefits including:

• Shorter Timescales
  Projects are easier to plan and manage in a single repository.

• Lower Risk
  A formalised process reduces risks and provides accurate costing to ensure systems meet expectations first time, every time.

• Greater Productivity
  By automating the production process and documentation, results are produced quickly and more accurately.

From Beginning to End

Cradle offers a comprehensive set of powerful facilities to aid the engineering process.

Requirements Management

Successful projects depend on effective and complete capturing of requirements.

Cradle is unique in the way it traces requirements directly onto system models and other information types, ensuring systems are better fit for purpose and easier to maintain. the impact of changes can be rigorously analysed.

Project Management

One of the problems of managing large projects is the difficulty in co-ordinating efforts across teams of engineers.

Cradle's Project Management capabilities allows access to be efficiently controlled through security classifications, team structures and privileges.

Such control is ideal where sub-contractor relationships and geographically dispersed sites are involved.

Configuration Management

Cradle's unique model-based approach allows configurations and workflow to be managed automatically, so there is no additional project overhead.

Quality Support

Automation provides easier support for process and document standards such as ISO9000, IEE 1220, PRINCE and the SEI CMM.

Systems Analysis and Design

Cradle provides comprehensive facilities to model all aspects of system design including:

• Behaviour
• Architecture
• Data Structure
• Data Flow
• Functionality
• Performance
• Risk Reliability
• Cost

Reuse from a Lifecycle Library also means core subsystem developments can be easily used on many projects, greatly improving quality and reducing development time.

Cradle, the Complete Solution

Software Development

Effective project control and total traceability is ensured, as the software development process is brought under the control of the systems engineering models.

Legacy systems can be easily reverse engineered into Cradle's repository for future development and easier maintenance.

Document Production

Over 2,000 pre-configured documents are available for the production of reports on all aspects of the process including traceability, integrity, audit trails, progress reports and validation.

Project definable document structures can also be readily created using graphical tools so engineers can concentrate on creative design effort, not document production.

Third Party Tool Integration

Cradle allows the use of third party tools within itself to provide full data and control integration. All engineering disciplines can be integrated into the Cradle framework.

The Cradle systems have been carefully optimised to ensure individual customers gain the maximum business benefit at the lowest possible cost.

A range of consultancy, training and support services are available, from project planning and requirements analysis, through to systems design and implementation.

A key part of 3SL's service offering, is the emphasis placed on the transfer of knowledge, ensuring users learn from the experience and gain the maximum benefit from Cradle.

Whether you need a simple requirements management tool or a complete, automated, fully integrated development process, 3SL can provide you with the right solution.

With an on-going commitment to product development based on customer needs, Cradle assures you of a system that will meet your current and future requirements.

From concept to creation from beginning to end and beyond, Cradle delivers the perfect systems engineering environment for all your needs.

With its unique combination of powerful modelling, tracing and management features, Cradle lets you exercise effective control over the entire systems engineering process.

Cradle is a fully integrated multi-user, multi-project environment for turning requirements into high quality, highly effective solutions - quickly, simple, cost-effectively with the minimum risk.

Whatever your business needs - Cradle is the perfect solution.
