Consulting

Introducing a new tool and a new language in a team might be disturbing when used for the first time. PragmaDev can follow up the customer's project and make sure the language and the tool are properly used. Our experience and knowledge of the tools permit to detect critical problems right at the beginning of the project.

Change management

Introducing abstract graphical models is a major change compared to informal textual descriptions. This not only introduces new languages, but this changes the roles of the different stakeholders. Business owners, specifiers, and developers have the opportunity to raise their abstraction level and get closer to the requirements. Because such a change might be destabilizing we partner with Valuways, an experienced coach to help our customers to manage the organizational change induced.

Change process

Tool customization

PragmaDev is always pleased to work on integration with third party tools since it enlarges PragmaDev Studio and PragmaDev Process offering.

Usual customizations for Studio are:

• Proprietary or COTS RTOS integration,
  The generated code out of SDL-RT can directly run on the customer's RTOS without any further operation.
• Debugger integration,
  Graphical debuging when running on a target might require a tool customization.
• Third party tool integration,
  Link your model to a third party tool in order to work in a consistent environment.

Usual customizations for Process are:

• Improve import from another authoring tool,
• Generate customized results out of a simulation or execution,
• Create connection points to the tool.

Use cases

The validation of a new technology requires some thorough evaluation. Because our prospects have often limited resources available for such an experiment, PragmaDev can help to set up a representative use case.
