Engineers worldwide for regulated products
Every consultant on our team has worked in product development. We work side by side with aerospace, defense and automotive teams worldwide.
Who we are
Engineers first, since 2010
We started in 2010 as a small team of requirements engineers, working mostly with IBM Rational tools. Our clients soon needed more than requirements: system models, verification, build pipelines and the traceability that ties them together. Today we work across the whole software and systems engineering lifecycle, from the first stakeholder need to the verified release, on whatever toolchain a program runs.
Every consultant on our team has worked in product development. We know why a requirement is written the way it is, and we know what an auditor will ask about it.
“Our job is to make your engineering process work. The tools come second.”
Recognition
IBM Partner Plus Award 2024, EMEA winner
In the first edition of the IBM Partner Plus Awards, IBM named SmarterProcess the EMEA winner in the Digital defense category. The award recognised our work for defense manufacturers: we implemented IBM Engineering for them, ran it as a managed service and helped them meet their compliance requirements.
- Hundredsof submissions across six categories, judged anonymously
- 4 criteriaexpertise, partnership, impact and innovation
- Global finalistannounced at IBM Partner Plus Day, Think 2024, on 20 May 2024
Case studies
In our customers’ words
Requirements, traceability and verification for complex software and systems, from a NATO test bed to an ASPICE program at an automotive supplier.


Air Force Institute of TechnologyITWL, Warsaw, Poland
Defense · NATO“Implementing an engineering project with a complexity level similar to AGS BattleLab would not be possible without IBM Engineering tools and an experienced business partner like SmarterProcess.”
Results
- 31months to a NATO test bed
- 20%fewer requirement defects
- 300+test cases, traced to requirements


BURYAutomotive electronics, Poland
Automotive“We were delighted with the support from SmarterProcess, their skills, and the comprehensive training. Everything was managed correctly and on time, with full approval from our engineers.”
Results
- ~About 3months to roll out the toolchain
- 500engineers on one platform
- 2–3ASPICE levels met
The full engineering lifecycle, for industries where mistakes are expensive
From the first requirement to the released build, set up for the standards each industry works to.
What we do
- Requirements engineeringWriting and reviewing requirements, and tracing them across large programs
- Model-based systems engineeringSysML architecture and design models linked to requirements
- Test management, verification and validationTest plans and evidence connected to every requirement
- DevOps and CI/CDAutomated build, test and release pipelines
- Platform deployment and administrationInstallation, upgrades, migration and managed service
- Forward deployed engineersOur engineers join your team, on site or remotely, and work inside your programs until the process runs on its own
- AI implementation and deploymentWe pick AI tools and agents that fit your engineering platforms, such as IBM ELM, GitLab and Jira, and deploy them with security and access controls set up
- AI adoption in engineering organisationsRules, training and review steps so your teams can use AI in requirements, testing and DevOps and keep the traceability that regulated work needs
- TrainingPractical courses for engineers and administrators
Industries and the standards we support
AutomotiveISO 26262, Automotive SPICE, ISO/SAE 21434
We trace requirements, safety goals and cybersecurity work products from vehicle level down to software, so the evidence for an ASPICE assessment is already in place.
Aerospace & DefenseDO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A
Requirements-based development and verification evidence for airborne software and hardware, from aircraft functions to code.
RailwayEN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129
Safety requirements and hazard records stay linked across the lifecycle, and the safety case for signaling and rolling stock holds together.
Transportation & Off-HighwayIEC 61508, ISO 25119
Functional safety processes for off-highway, agricultural and other vehicles, with traceability an assessor can check.
Medical DevicesIEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820
Design controls, risk management and software lifecycle records in one traceable chain for audits and FDA submissions.
Nuclear PowerIEC 61513, IEC 60880, IEC 62138
Requirements and verification for instrumentation and control systems, documented for regulatory review.
Government & Public SectorEU AI Act, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001
Secure software delivery and AI adoption for public institutions, with audit trails and security controls that hold up in procurement.
Banking & Financial ServicesDORA, EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, PCI DSS
AI assistants and secure DevSecOps pipelines, with the model risk and operational resilience evidence that supervisors ask for under DORA.
TelecommunicationsNIS2, EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001
AI in software delivery and network operations, plus application security testing and secure CI/CD for large telecom codebases.
