Artisan launches Artisan Studio: DoD Architect Edition (5)

“Architectural frameworks are hugely important in defense procurement and DoDAF is currently defined as the standard means for describing them in model based design tools,” said Matthew Hause, Chief Consultant at Artisan Software Tools and co-chair of the UPDM Group. “DoDAF modeling tools provide huge benefits for developers of military systems, in terms of consistency, quality, tool interoperability and cost savings.”

Artisan Studio: DoD Architect Edition provides all the modeling features design engineers need, when applying DoDAF. UML, SysML, Data Modeling and the DoDAF profile are all packaged in a single, enterprise-scale design architecture modeling tool. Its underlying repository ensures architectural consistency across the full range of DoDAF views, as well as multi-user access for truly distributed communication. The fully configurable, built-in document publisher completes the package, to distribute DoDAF designs both inside and outside an organization.

For systems and software engineers, who need to drill down into the details, Artisan Studio: DoD Advanced Architect Edition extends the DoD Architect Edition by also providing design simulation and automated code synchronization. These features make the most of the architectural frameworks to automatically verify designs and reduce the overall development effort.

“We are thrilled to be launching the Artisan Studio: DoD Architect Editions,” stated Hedley Apperly, VP Marketing at Artisan Software Tools. “They build on the proven success of Artisan’s existing DoDAF profile by recognizing that specific product configurations respond directly to customer and market demands.”

Artisan Studio: DoD Architect Edition and Artisan Studio: DoD Advanced Architect Edition deliver on the promise of an integrated collaborative development environment – allowing architects, systems and software engineering teams to work as one – from concept through to delivery and maintenance.
