Methods
We design custom made technology concepts and information technology solutions for knowledge intensive industries.
Our solutions realize strategic functions
at the core
of our clients' operations.
Global vision and local attention
With interdisciplinary experience and
multinational background, we bring a
broad vision to your project.
Operating in Tokyo for many years,
we devolop strong direct cooperation with
our clients.
Managed cost, time, risk
We use a small set of well understood methods together with industry standard components.
We prefer simple solutions.
We recommend ready-made, proven components wherever possible. For the client, this
reduces cost and risk, and shrinks
idea-to-market times.
Dedicated team
We assign a small team to your project.
We make strategic design decisions
collectively to
exploit experience from previous projects.
Most project work is done at our own premises,
in a highly engineered environment.
This reduces system administration etc overhead.
Standard tools
Custom software, our standard tools are
MINERVA, JAVA, and XML for their clean
design, high programmer efficiency,
and wide acceptance.
This protects the customer's investment even
over the extended life cycle and multiple platform deployment of a major
software project.
complement client needs
We realize custom made knowledge based systems closely
adapted in depth and width to the requirements of the client: we can
offer all or part of the steps through the software life cycle from
domain analysis, interviews, structuring, design, implementation all
the way to development staff training, end user training, and field
maintenance.
Depending on the project and personell requirements of the client,
we realized turn key systems without detailed technical involvement
of the client as well as custom made training packages that enable the
customer to efficiently execute specific projects in-house with their
own staff members.
Client Involvement
Knowledge based systems leverage close cooperation of the project
partners: the client brings management vision,
and business area expertise.
We structure, design, and implement.
Incremental Process
Starting activity are the knowledge
engineering interviews that lead to the initial documents, then incremental
document refinement and in parallel the design of the systems engines
to execute the documents on the machine: now the documents become alive,
from text to "programs". This executable documentation is then evolved
by refinement and computer verification.
Result is the system and the
knowledge dictionary that
defines the scope and that
serves as reference for future
improvements.
Cooperation with the best
Depending on project requirements, we
cooperate closely with external specialist
partners, who must be the best in
their field.
