Services
Altran Praxis strives to offer its clients a consistent world-class systems engineering capability, one that is able to learn and improve and repeatedly solve engineering problems on time, to budget and to specification. Praxis' services are applicable to a wide-range of industry
sectors.
Customers can expect solutions to be derived from a firm theoretical base and structured to proactively manage risk. The applicability of solutions is justified by reasoned argument and supported where practicable by appropriate use of tools. Customers can expect to see this approach across all service lines.
A systems perspective is adopted to ensure that problems are understood in their entirety – through system lifetime, across all constituent parts, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders. Praxis adopts the Lean Engineering paradigm to ensure that our customers are buying the perfect delivery of desired value. The combination of Lean and Systems Engineering is the basis for the Lean Systems Thinking approach that underpins all of our services.
Customers can expect a systems engineering approach to be applied to all Praxis’ problem solving. Stakeholders will be identified, requirements understood, specifications derived and justified. All specialist systems engineering services are placed in this context.
Our software engineering is matched to the risks and requirements of the customer’s problem. Our engineers are equally at home operating within a
Correctness by Construction framework as in Agile development. Specific methods, languages and techniques are applied as appropriate, with our engineers being competent in both highly rigorous methods targeted at formal or high assurance, as well as lightweight techniques targeted at rapid delivery.
Customers can expect that safety engineering opinions be justified and based upon the application of sound processes, knowledge of the product under scrutiny and understanding of its operational environment. Safety assessments will only be provided on systems that have been seen by our assessors.
Our security engineering work has a firm theoretical base that enables us to bring insight and rigour from the world of safety-critical systems, enabling us to adopt a risk-based, tailored approach.
Customers can expect that their requirements will be listened to and that their constraints will be understood. Fresh viewpoints will be brought to innovation problems reflecting our diversity in competency, geography, market and culture. When the skill set contained within the broader
Altran Group is considered, Praxis offers an unrivalled
innovation capability.
Praxis has always recognised the value and importance of transferring knowledge. One of the most effective mechansisms is a professional training course. Over the years Praxis has delivered many hundreds of advanced training courses covering both Praxis proprietary technologies, for example
SPARK, and more general training related to embedded and critical systems development.
Our staff
Praxis engineers use our certified Quality Management System and contribute to Praxis’ body of knowledge. Our engineers actively share their insights and seek to use others’ experience before undertaking assignments. Praxis engineers expect their work to be challenged and reviewed. Where matters are not resolved to satisfaction, our engineers display the
commitment necessary to achieve that resolution either directly or through escalation. Our customers can expect repeatability of process as well as continual improvement in expertise.
Our customers can expect Praxis engineers to bring a knowledge and interest of the industry to their assignments. Praxis engineers have a positive approach to training and development with their careers managed through an industry recognised professional development scheme. Our engineers are members of, and play an active part in, their relevant professional bodies. Our customers can expect interaction with Chartered Engineers and Fellow of Societies. Our staff advance the state of the art through published whitepapers and are seen as thought leaders within the industry.
