11. Reasons for Selecting Artisan
                        
“We needed to select a tool that has multi-user capabilities, as our teams are large and can’t afford to be out of synch," explained Andy Walter, Development Manager at Logica. "Real-time Studio’s multi-user repository makes the tool a sound fit for our needs. System partitioning was also very important, as we need to model a number of sub-systems each with different target environments and written in a mix of C++ and Ada, but sharing common areas of functionality. We needed a tool with the flexibility that would allow us to do this in a single model.”

12. Reasons for Selecting Artisan
SPAWAR, one of the Department of the Navy's three major acquisition commands, has selected ARTiSAN's Real-time Studio Professional to support its real-time development work.
Jeremy Goulding, President and CEO of ARTiSAN Software commented, “Being selected by SPAWAR is a tremendous endorsement of both the professionalism of our support engineers as well as our approach to quality, given the thoroughness of their evaluation and the number of competitive tools involved. By providing our customers with easy to use, yet highly sophisticated tools, Real-time Studio is picking up market share and becoming the tool of choice for developing mission-critical, real-time systems and software.”

13. Reasons for Selecting Artisan
“We performed a rigorous three month evaluation of the offerings from ARTiSAN, I-Logix, Rational, Telelogic, and Together,” explained Stefan Pachschwöll, Software Engineer and member of the tool evaluation committee at Austrian Aerospace. “We arrived at our decision to go with Real-time Studio for a number of reasons. Of greatest importance to us is the tool’s support for both systems and software engineering. Also impressive is the flexible template-based code generation which affords many opportunities for tuning and tweaking. This is a strong benefit to us since we use many non-standard processors and compilers, and is impossible with a tool having a more rigid model-to-code association. We found the tool’s use of an underlying repository to be a necessary feature, as it guarantees multi-user support. Another big plus was that RtS supports all of the interfacing tools we use during software design (DOORS, PVCS, Word, etc) and therefore fits seamlessly into our existing design process. We like that RtS supports the Unified Modeling Language’s real-time extensions and offers proprietary diagrams - such as the System Architecture Diagram and Concurrency Diagram - which are very useful for completing UML designs. And finally, Real-time Studio has proven to be intuitive to use and it took our team only a short time to become proficient with the tool.”
