About Us

Our vision is to empower process improvement for the most complex software engineering value streams on the planet. To realize this vision, we build domain-tailored solutions that minimize “time to value”, maximize depth of insights, and facilitate concrete business outcomes.

Built without borders

The Software Solutions Studio is powered by a global network of individual and organizational contributors. We embrace cross-organizational collaboration, and over-index on transparency, trust, and creativity.

Complexity

Systems-of-systems complexity has the potential to undermine process improvement efforts, if not properly addressed. It's impossible to improve a process that you don't understand.

Decision Making

The efficiency, efficacy, and value of a system result from countless small decisions made throughout the lifecycle of the system. Complexity can explode or erode based on the decisions we make every day.

Objectivity

The most important principle for optimal decision making (and thus world-class engineering systems) is objectivity in the face of complexity. Modeling and simulation facilitate the evolution of systems along an objectively optimal path.

Simulator Design

We provide the simulator, but it runs in your browser (only you have access to your data)
