Design, build and manage large-scale systems with IBM Rational software


 
Rational software - Software and system development
 
OverviewSystems development support

With the IBM Rational® Systems Development Solution, systems development teams get the technology, process, tools and consulting services they need during every part of the systems development lifecycle (see the systems development lifecycle illustrated - 19KB), so they can rapidly design, build and manage large-scale, complex systems.

Your customers require ever more complex systems to differentiate themselves and to stay in business. In the aerospace and defense industry, for example, the net-centric environment of the battlefield requires manufacturers to create products that deliver advanced capabilities to the front lines fast. In automotive and electronics manufacturing, rapid product innovation is required to sustain differentiation in the marketplace.

The IBM Rational Systems Development Solution offering is designed to help systems development teams:

  • Develop complex systems faster.

  • Reduce development costs.

  • Continually improve quality.

  • Work effectively with multiple discipline teams and partners in different locations, and in both unclassified and classified environments.

  • Adhere to compliance standards and mandates, including Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA)/DO-178B and Capability Model Maturity Integration (CMMI) standards.

How can the IBM Rational Systems Development Solution approach help your systems development teams rapidly design, build and manage innovative products?

”Adopting the integrated RUP approach has helped us to increase the pace of improvement in our product creation process. It is also helping us achieve our goal of reducing lead-times of new releases from up to 15 months to 6-9 months.” -- Theo Engelen, Product Development Director, Philips
