Integration

Integration speaks of pulling disparate concepts together into an integrated whole. It speaks of addressing a problem by looking at it from the perspective of all stakeholders, not from a single point of view. It speaks of clear and simple interoperation with processes, tools, and systems not of your own making.

In software product lines, integration means seeing all aspects of product lifecycle management - whether requirements, coding, testing, or documentation - as driven by a managed variation point model.

Integrity

Integrity speaks of conceptual wholeness or completeness. It says there are no cracks in the infrastructure from taking shortcuts. Integrity in an evolving product line requires checks and balances to keep the system from inadvertently straying from its original intent.

In software product lines, integrity means avoid branching where possible, it means diligence in managing dependencies between assets, and it means adherence to well-designed quality processes.

Experience

Experience speaks of keeping a keen eye on your product line from your customer’s perspective. For us, it means listening to you and partnering with you to meet your goals. And it means being eager for your feedback so we can redirect our products and services to better meet your needs.

Experience is also what we help you enhance for your customers. Our solutions leverage your expertise to extend the excellent products and service you already offer, but now for far more customers, and with solutions perfectly matched to their needs. And it means helping you respond with confidence when your customer requests capability you don't currently offer, and helping you deliver with high quality in a timely manner.

These core values translate directly into the philosophy we have for the Product Line Studio suite.
