Altium Security Assessment
Creative & Design
Altium Systems and Requirements Portal is a browser-based software allowing engineers to collaboratively develop better complex hardware products, including rockets and satellites. It serves as a Single Source of Truth and allows engineers to store and collaborate along the engineering life-cycle, all the way from requirements, through detailed design up to verification and testing. Altium Systems and Requirements Portal reduces hardware development costs by >20%, by digitising non-CAD data, using browser-based collaboration and complementary integrations to common engineering tools. It supports interdisciplinary teams throughout the engineering lifecycle, from requirements management, through detailed design up to automatic verification. In short: it is Github for Hardware. Altium Systems and Requirements Portal is used by companies such as Airbus, ESA, Momentus, ispace, etc. and has been named in Forbes as one of Germany’s 100 most innovative Startups 2018, featured in Wired and Techcrunch and won multiple startup awards.
