Software Engineering

Typically, an outside software developer that's brought in to build a software solution will use a toolkit to meet an already defined functional specification. Often, however, the result fails to fully meet the organization's business needs. That's because there is far more to software engineering than simply using software technology to meet a spec.

ARINC's approach is different. First, we focus on understanding and analyzing your business, its challenges, and objectives—near- and long-term. Next, we work with you to develop or refine a functional specification that fully meets these objectives, taking into account your existing or re-engineered processes. Only then do we start to use software technology to develop code.

ARINC, an ISO 9001-certified organization, is ranked among the best in the world by new standards of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), being awarded SEI CMM and SEI CMMI certifications. In addition, our development experience ranges from real-time-embedded to high-level applications in both large- and small-scale efforts. We're experts in the use of leading tools, languages, and databases and keep current in new technologies.

One key to our success is extensive use of prototyping, which lets your users see how the system looks, feels, and works—before it's completely developed.

Following the development phase, we thoroughly test the software and write complete documentation. We will completely manage the installation or work with your in-house experts—whatever works best for you. We can also train your users, show you how to make the best use of your new solution, and maintain the software after delivery.

Throughout the entire process, and no matter what technology we use, the emphasis remains on meeting your business requirements.
