CERTON's Business Model

 

The CERTON business model is designed to accurately scope, properly plan, effectively manage, and successfully execute DO-178B and DO-254 certification projects while controlling cost and schedule under Firm-Fixed Price contracts.

 

CERTON has developed products, tools, and processes that support this unique business model through automation of time consuming verification and validation activities, standardized test file templates, and test environments that have been utilized on several successful Hardware/Software certification projects.

 

CERTON maintains complete Quality Management, Configuration Management, and Problem Reporting Systems that provide the foundation for our daily operation, continual improvement, and Hardware/Software development life cycle activities for all projects, including both internal and external. The areas of expertise include Management, Planning, Requirements, Design, Code Implementation, Verification, Validation, and Maintenance of project data over the life of the system.

 

Certify In Time!

 

The next Stage of Involvement (SOI) with your certification authority is approaching rapidly!

 

CERTON can help your organization ensure successful audit at any stage, whether it be Planning, Requirements Design, Verification & Validation, or Certification. We understand that both schedule and budget are at risk during all phases of your project. CERTON can immediately put our experience and expertise to work in order to help your team effectively plan and execute the right tasks, at the right time, and in the right order to ensure all objectives are satisfied on schedule. The pressure of upcoming deadlines and diminishing budgets are daunting situations that necessitate a clear understanding of the expectation of your customer and certification authority. Our ability to correctly identify what needs to be done, and the order in which it needs to be completed, provides the foundation for a successful certification effort.

 

 

CERTON can work with your team to determine how to drastically reduce the real SOI timeline and complete all necessary activities for a Firm-Fixed Cost.

 

When deadlines approach and the project is behind schedule, it's a difficult decision to change or stay the course. CERTON can help you make the right choice and get your project back on track in the shortest time possible.

 

This involves providing resources with extensive experience managing, executing, and successfully completing DO-178B and DO-254 Level A, B, C, and D projects using all of the common industry tools and environments.

 

The CERTON path relies on organized planning and execution to achieve immediate progress with minimal ramp time for any highly skilled and trained CERTON engineer on the project.

 

Whether you need to write the planning documents, generate good requirements and design, or complete all Verification & Validation activities, the end result of working with CERTON is a successful SOI audit and certification compliance on schedule.
