  2. Overview • Introduction to Sparx Systems • Enterprise Architect and MDG Products • MBSE Market • Sparx Market breakdown • Customer Experiences • What our customers really think • Conclusion • Future SysML work

  3. Overview • Introduction to Sparx Systems • Enterprise Architect and MDG Products • MBSE Market • Sparx Market Breakdown • Customer Experiences • What our customers really think • Conclusion • Future SysML work

  4. Who is Sparx Systems? • Established in 1998 • Leading provider of UML modeling tools • Enterprise Architect for UML 2.1 • Model Integration with 3rd Party tools • Visual Studio, Eclipse, DOORS, Visio • Support for other modeling standards • Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) • OMG Systems Modeling Language (SysML) • Architecture Frameworks (DoDAF/MoDAF, Zachman Framework, ToGAF)

  5. Who is Sparx Systems? • Headquartered in Australia • Sister companies • Japan • Central Europe • South America • China (new for 2008) • Represented by approx 200 Partners • Resellers, Trainers, Technical Partners • Value-Added Resellers (VARs)

  6. Domain Extensions(Value-Added UML) UML Modeling Platform Application Integration UML Integration The Sparx Product Line

  7. Enterprise Architect • Our Flagship UML 2 Modeling Platform • Supports the latest UML 2.1 standard • All 13 diagrams supported • Over 150,000 licenses worldwide • Visual Requirements Modeling • One of the first providers to offer visual requirements • UML 2 Extensions to model requirements • Requirements, Feature, Change, Issue • Seamless traceability between formal specifications and system specifications within the model

  8. Overview • Introduction to Sparx Systems • Enterprise Architect and MDG Products • MBSE Market • Sparx Market Breakdown • Customer Experiences • What our customers really think • Conclusion • Future SysML work

  9. MBSE Market • Tiny Relative Marketshare • MDG for SysML represents < 1% of totalEA user base • Customers – Industry Segments Academia, Defence, Biotechnology, Aerospace Govt. Research, Heavy Industries, Automotive Resources (Mining)

  10. MBSE Market • Customers – Demographics • Trainers / Educators • Contractors / Consultants (self-employed) • RnD Engineers • Customers – Usage Behavior • System Engineering • Modeling new, real-world designs, concepts • Capturing existing designs for documentation • Small-scale projects - <10 personnel

  11. MBSE Market • Customers – Usage Behavior… • Value – Added Modeling • Using Sparx SysML to extend their own products/services • Training, product extensions • Many of these users are Sparx Registered Partners • Evaluation • Evaluating our product (users are savvy in SysML, reviewing our product for procurement) • Evaluating the technology (users are savvy in Systems Engineering, reviewing SysML as a technology)

  12. Overview • Introduction to Sparx Systems • Enterprise Architect and MDG Products • MBSE Market • Sparx Market Breakdown • Customer Experiences • What our customers really think • Conclusion • Future SysML work

  13. Customer Experiences • What they like • Value-for-moneyCost-effectiveness of EA + SysML • Ease of UseUser Interface less imposing to the SysML-novice • Scalable deploymentMulti-user capable using DBMS repositories • What they want improved • Our SysML implementation is dated, needs updating’ • Interoperability with other SE tools *important*

  14. Overview • Introduction to Sparx Systems • Enterprise Architect and MDG Products • MBSE Market • Sparx Market Breakdown • Customer Experiences • What our customers really think • Conclusion • Future SysML work

  15. Conclusion • Very slow adoption • <1% of total userbase • Early Adopters, mainly SysML Evaluators, SysML Practitioners, not enough ‘real customers’ • Food for thought to consider to broaden adoption to the mainstream • Tool interoperability between SysML-capable tools, simulators, analysers and repositories (not JUST SysML model vendors) – AP233 • Process & Frameworks - OOSEM

  16. Conclusion… • Food for thought… • Maturity of the language – SysML 1.1 RTF efforts at the OMG • UML has enjoyed 10+years to develop its ubiquity – does SysML need just as much time? • For Further Information • www.sparxsystems.com/sysml • 30-day full functional trials of: • Enterprise Architect 7.1 • MDG Technology for SysML
