Optimize and secure your application infrastructure.
Computing is right in the middle of an industrial era. As the primary enterprise competitiveness tool, it needs to rationalize its costs to become a value creator.
ARCAD Software is at the heart of this "industrial revolution".
ARCAD Software offers IBM System i customers an integrated and modular toolset to:
Manage the application lifecycle,
Capitalize on functional and technical knowledge,
Guarantee quality of service.
Fifteen years of sustained R&D effort have given a functional coverage that is unequalled in the international market and made ARCAD Software the European leader with over 250 customers. Following the trail of the IBM System i - now a truly integrated and multi-technology server - our toolset helps companies to harness new technologies, at both a technical and human level.
Each Suite is specially designed to respond to a specific software management issue:
ARCAD-Skipper for software configuration management,
ARCAD-Observer for application intelligence,
ARCAD-Qualifier for test management (test coverage, test data, scenarios),
ARCAD-Customer for technical support management.
What makes the ARCAD solutions unique is their integrated design, based on a central repository core. Indeed the same R&D team has designed the products since the company's inception.
This is a true guarantee of product consistency and ergonomy.
In addition, the modular design of the product range means that implemented solutions are both flexible and scalable.

HISTORY...
ARCAD Software was created in 1992. The early years were dedicated to developing its ambitious product line. In 1996 the first releases were marketed to very large international customers, who put a premium on software development productivity and maintenance.
The initial ARCAD project was financed by the European Space Agency (www.esa.int). Leaders in the space industry have always been a driving force in innovations in software quality. The scale of the stakes and investment involved has naturally led these organizations to equip themselves with methods and tools for guaranteeing the most reliable conditions for change in their software base.
ARCAD is thus the fruit of two skill sets, a methodology expertise inherited from its origins, and a technical proficiency on the System i platform.
The ARCAD solutions apply the same quality skills that defined the success of the space industry to the world of software management on the System i. Today, ARCAD is a market leader with 15 years of expertise in the same core business since its inception.
MARKET...
Our products and services are intended both for user businesses with their own inhouse development teams and those that either outsource this process or use only software packages.
ARCAD solutions are also aimed at information technology professionals in general. Our customers range from IT companies proposing facilities management or tool based turnkey projects (information system auditing and restructuring, retro-documentation, etc.) through to System i software vendors.
The adoption of our products and services across this wide range is itself recognition of our expertise by experts in the field.
