Data Visualisation
The use of powerful data visualisation techniques provides the user with easy access to both input and output data in a graphical form. This allows the user to quickly absorb the outcome of any model runs and to communicate results through web-enabled output. ITECH Research & Investments also has a strong track record in integrating simulation models with a variety of data stores from simple desktop Access databases, through enterprise scale solutions such as SQL and Oracle, to data warehouse technologies.
ITECH Research & Investments would be pleased to discuss your modelling and simulation requirements at your convenience. We are able to support your needs in the role of a software provider through the entire product development lifecycle or alternatively supply a complete service providing both software application and experienced analysts skilled in the methodical use of those applications to provide maximum benefit to your business. |

Development Support Tools
ITECH Research & Investments has provided and distributed globally a number of decision support tools, focussed on a variety of complex scientific problems, including:
|
the design of future components; |
|
safety assurance in processing hazardous materials; and, |
|
instrumentation investment decisions. |
All of these tools employ complex mathematical modelling techniques, accurately describing the behaviour of the physical systems in terms of mathematical equations that are subsequently translated into intuitive, user-friendly software applications. With the support of these applications, AWE scientists have been able to gain greater understanding of the complex systems modelled - how they behave and how they may be controlled - through the ability to rapidly examine a number of ‘what if’ scenarios.
This has included the investigation of scenarios that would otherwise require considerable manpower to analyse or be too dangerous to contemplate running in reality. The outputs of these tools have been used to improve the efficiency of processes, reduce production costs and justify future expenditure. We are proud of our contributions to the development of risk and hazard-based technology and its application to structures and facilities exposed to natural or manmade hazards. ITECH Research & Investments has a large number of clients who use our software for a variety of needs such as analyzing probabilistic earthquake-induced ground motions, assessing earthquake risk to single structures, analyzing earthquake and hurricane risk to a portfolio of properties, and studying structural component reliability. Many clients, however, choose to have us conduct the analysis whereby we gather data, make expert interpretations, evaluate alternatives, run the software, and produce a comprehensive report.
ITECH Research & Investments has supported all aspects of the product development lifecycle and provides ongoing support by way of product enhancement and consultancy including the application of these tools to the problem domain, such as:
|
“INVESTOR” (Investment Verification of Engineering Strategy for Optimisation of Reliability) - provides a methodology for generating robust whole-life asset management plans. INVESTOR accurately forecasts maintenance, refurbishment and replacement requirements, enabling cost-effective management of assets whilst retaining confidence in asset condition. |
To date, INVESTOR has been applied to the Water and Rail industries, but can be configured to any industry with an asset management requirement. INVESTOR is based on best practice from the oil and gas industry developed within KBR.
The INVESTOR has enabled manufacturers to demonstrate innovation in a measurable way to reduce cost of ownership for asset owners. Its approach is to model a hierarchy starting at the business or works level, working down through the system and process level to the individual asset level.
The INVESTOR architecture is based on a core simulation that allows models to vary depending on asset type and hierarchical level. Where appropriate, the INVESTOR modelling engine integrates with existing industry accepted models. The layered architecture of the simulation enables the cost-effective customisation of INVESTOR in order to accommodate the specific needs of different industries, and of individual companies within each industry.

Software Quality Solutions
ITECH Research & Investments provides end-to-end software quality solutions in relation with functionality and performance. Our unstinting focus on software engineering principles eliminates not only the peripheral problems but tackles the root cause of an issue. To ensure high quality software, we realize that the focus must start from quality of requirements and lead up to their final deployment.
Capturing the explicit (functional) and implicit (performance and non functional) requirements and setting a proper traceability with all relevant test cases acts as safeguard against the ‘big surprises’ of user acceptance. Moreover, a high degree of automation results in better regression testing. Automation exponentially reduces the effort, enhances traceability and maintainability, bringing in higher cost savings and a better ROI.
The company provides and make available the complete solution you have been looking for. Developers choose ITECH Research & Investments, because it:
|
Makes their job easier; |
|
Increases their productivity; and, |
|
Enables them to satisfy the requirements of their managers. |
With ITECH Research & Investments, you spend your time developing rather than debugging. You work with the design, without getting bogged down by the syntax. You get projects done faster. You extend applications easily. You migrate them effortlessly.
We help the customers to adapt the software engineering principles and methodologies into their development area. The engineering approach, which is not that prevalent in the current scenario of software development worldwide, can create an awesome predictability of the project success. Establishing an approach right from understanding the business through requirements, design, testing and configuration management, eases the development efforts and find more opportunity for repeatability of the techniques used.
ITECH Research & Investments can combine multiple interpretations of failure scenarios to find the consolidated risk for a complex system. Performance assessment for waste facilities can be studied using alternate models and parameters that project what may occur over thousands or even millions of years. We, with the rich experience and exposure to the live scenario, will help the development teams to mature in the software engineering. Our software engineering consulting team will help them by imparting the theoretical knowledge though classroom sessions and share the practical experience through mentoring on their projects. During the theoretical sessions, we prefer to take a live example from the client project, rather than a fictitious sample. |

Features of Some of the Software Engineering Products
Here are a few of the unique features of some of the software engineering products being offered and provided by the company that contribute to making your life easier:
|
|
They are easy to learn, write and read - readability has a significant impact on your work. The plain English syntax of the products gives mixed teams - developers working with analysts, scientists and architects - the flexibility to work together to create more functional software faster. |
|
A fully integrated toolset. You can define, design, develop, test, deploy and manage your applications in a single architecture solution, using a clean and intuitive interface. At each step of your project life cycle you can perform the necessary changes and your full system will be automatically updated with the technical assistance ITECH Research & Investments has and always be consistent. |
|
They produce systematic documentation. There is no risk for you, your team or your company to work with outdated or erroneous documentation. |
|
Enhance developer productivity through Design by Contract. This single mechanism is responsible for an order-of-magnitude increase in the quality of applications that apply it. |
|
Several products are remarkably `open' and cross-platform system. They are the most complete, full-fledged solution for Enterprise level cross-platform development, allowing for complete, unrestricted developer freedom. |
|
We can help you make the right decisions on managing risk and making optimum use of investments, insurance, alternative engineering solutions and corporate management strategies. Whether the objective is to maximum engineering performance or to protect business from losses or failure caused by natural events, we work with clients to structure the problem, and the solution, to meet their needs. |
