Systems engineering
The challenge of a global approach
Being able to anticipate and the ability to solve problems arising from the interaction between different parts of a system are necessary to avoid error likely to jeopardize its operating system.
Interoperability and performance issues
Each brick within the system must be able to communicate with the other to generate any significant productivity, integration and performance restrictions. These thorny issues often determine the choices and approaches that have so far remained undewrstandable, easy to maintain and evolve.
Reliability and security
A solution must meet complex needs while being pragmatic and proven over time. It must therefore be designed with reliable and sustainable approaches, specifically evaluating each advantage and disadvantage.
