UML modelling

 

 

 

 

UML is currently so widely used in software and business modelling that you would need a very good reason to use anything else. Project managers, business analysts, software architects and developers can all leverage UML to support their work and their communication about their projects and systems.

The following is a list of tools that Soluta.Net has selected for supporting the model lifecycle in the software development process and for which the company has deep competences. Soluta.Net is not simply a resellers because we use those tools, we customize them: for most of them we offer training courses and consultancy.

We are a Value Added Reseller for all these tools.

Enterprise Architect

Enterprise Architect (Sparx Systems) offers excellent language support and very impressive UML 2.1 compatibility; if the latest UML version is a priority, then EA is an obvious choice. It is shipped with very effective version control which even supports baseline storage, comparison and restoring, and allows the tracing and management of requirements on diagram elements. Although it doesn't provide much support for the actual programming aspect of the software development process, it offers excellent support for the full project lifecycle and good round-trip engineering without the need for additional products. Its incredibly attractive price tag makes it a very good choice for a company wanting to have a powerful UML tool on everyone’s desk.

The courses on Enterprise Architect developed by Soluta.Net were recently approved by Sparx Systems (see their Trainers web page). If you are interested in our training services, please visit our courses page.

Our experience with the Enterprise Architect modeling suite includes: developing plugins and custom solutions; injecting UML models designed using third-party languages and tools by means of the  Enterprise Architect Automation Interface; realizing a seamless integration between Enterprise Architect and other tools and solutions.

Magic Draw

"Soluta.Net is No Magic's premier partner in Italy for enhancing productivity for MagicDraw, our Cameo Suite, Training, and professional services. Due to their extensive modeling skills and experience, they can help your company to leverage the most ROI from No Magic's product suite. Soluta.Net offers competencies and experience to support its customers in the development of distributed systems and applications. They have decades of professional experience in the organisation and management of complex software projects. Soluta.Net has direct experience with a broad spectrum of systems, in particular ERP, SRC, supply chain, help desk, telecoms, pharmaceutical, business process, e-commerce, and destination management. Soluta.Net provides valuable support in technical project management, architecture definition, design, and coordination of development tasks and activities in addition to the development itself. Our objective is to manage the organisational, architectural and technological complexity principally by separating the functional and technical aspects of the system, leading to an economy of scale for the customer's current and, perhaps more importantly, future projects. This is because the functional and technical aspects have different life cycles: while the former are the true assets and capital of the firm, the latter are more volatile and often subject to the vagrancies of producers and suppliers." - From the No Magic web site

RaQuest

RaQuest is a Requirements Management tool which can be installed in an Enterprise Architect instance to enhance its Requirements Management facilities while at the same time taking advantage of the project-level features provided by the modelling framework. RaQuest helps analysts to exhaustively model requirements through advanced features such as specific attributes for requirements (summary and details, due dates, risk assessments etc.), an engine for the automatic generation of documents in various formats (HTML, doc, RTF...), support for importing requirements from MS Word documents and so on. See the RaQuest web page for more details.

Soluta.Net is the sole reseller of RaQuest in Italy.
