It is a recognised fact that the conditions for a successful project are created early in the acquisition process. As specialists Systecon often assists in development and evaluation of tenders and contracts. Systecon provide consulting services as support for defining or interpreting the requirements that ensure that desired objectives concerning system safety, reliability, logistics support and through life cost can be achieved. This service is as applicable for both buyer and supplier.

Systecon provide qualified services and software tools for successful acquisition or sales of complex technical systems. Our competence is also widely used for the acquisition (or sale) of operation and maintenance support for these systems. We are used to working with tough requirements on availability performance and cost effectiveness.

During the project, Systecon follow the development of the solutions and systems. Our main task is to ensure that the requirements on system capability, availability performance and through life cost will be met. We will also make sure that the information transfer will be realized in such a way that all significant data could be used in the customer's information system.

To support these efforts, Systecon has developed a suite of powerful software tools such as: OPUS10, for optimisation of logistics support and maintenance solutions and CATLOC, for costs evaluation of alternative solutions. In order to ensure a balanced level of requirements in relation to the planned system utilization we also use our simulation software SIMLOX. Systecon has used these tools in consultancy tasks for many satisfied clients including Governments and Major Blue Chip companies.
