Demerara Systems provides systems engineering consulting services in all phases of the product lifecycle including but not limited to:
Project Management
Project management is by definition required on all project endeavors. The Project Management Institute (PMI) has been the organizations that most companies and agencies look to for project management knowledge. Sometimes issue rise on the relationship of Project Management and Systems Engineering, this overlap and relationship are dynamic, and Demerara Systems provides consulting services support to tailor this relationship for the organization and for specific activities such as risk management, configuration management, technical reviews, and decision gates to name a few.
Requirements Engineering
Requirements engineering is the translation of needs and functions to requirements. This includes defining the performing functions, decomposing functions to lower levels, creating a buildable architecture and the allocation of functions to the elements of the architecture. Finally, writing a “good” requirement—one that is clear, concise, verifiable and linking them to an element in the user needs document. Demerara Sytems provides consulting in generating requirements for stakeholders.
System Integration
Most systems require integration with internal legacy elements or with external systems and often these legacy interfaces are undocumented, or the documentation is outdated. Demerara Systems provides consulting services to identify the interfaces, set up a management process for interfaces or if needed reverse engineering interfaces to integrate systems.
Verification and Validation
After implementation, the system it is verified by the project stakeholders. Verification is the process by which the stakeholder gives proof that the delivered system meets the requirements specified in the contract through demonstration, inspections, test, or analysis. Demerara Systems provides consulting in the development of verification plans, audits the verification procedures, and the verification of the system. Validation is performed by the Agency; proving that the system meets the stakeholder needs.
