Safety- and Mission-Critical Software Development with SCADE:

Berner & Mattner and ESTEREL Technologies set up partnership

Munich, August 3, 2010 – Berner & Mattner and ESTEREL Technologies extend their cooperation in the area of safety- and mission-critical embedded software. Both companies ideally complement each other in their focused service portfolio and the customers benefit from innovative complete solutions. These range from the initial set-up of the SCADE tool chain including method and tool training to hands-on development support through to the realization of complete safety-critical functions and demonstrators. Both companies already using SCADE and companies planning to establish model-based development with SCADE benefit from the synergetic cooperation.

Custom-tailored training, workshops and hands-on support during the project lead to a quick ramp-up of development projects. The professionals of Berner & Mattner involved are trained in SCADE Suite and SCADE Display. Together with experts of ESTEREL they provide a precise set-up of SCADE and its integration into the development process and the tool chain.

Customers will further benefit from the specific project realization: The service portfolio ranges from selective expert support during the project to the complete outsourcing of development packages. Development projects will be accelerated and time-to-market will be considerably improved. Here, Berner & Mattner applies the competence and experience gained from more than 100 projects realized independently per year – with high transparency and, in many cases, at fixed prices.

Both partners operate with cross-sector synergy and competence in the fields of automation, automotive, aerospace, rail traffic and defence with standards such as DO-178C, EN 50128, IEC 61508, IEC 60880 and ISO 26262. In the course of their partnership, both companies will extend their service portfolio in an optimal way offering their customers efficient model-based development processes, methods and tools for safety-critical software.

For 20 years now, Berner & Mattner Systemtechnik has been a leader in model-based development and process optimization with high consistency, from the requirements specification to HW/SW integration test.

ESTEREL Technologies with its innovative and practice-proven tools SCADE Suite and SCADE Display is a worldwide leader of model-based tools for design, verification and code generation for mission- and safety-critical embedded systems.
