3SL® Inc. Releases Cradle®-6.0 Requirements Management and Systems Engineering Software

New Version Reduces Workflow with Integrated Advanced Modeling
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
3SL®, a developer of innovative systems engineering products, today announced
the release of Cradle-6.0. Cradle-6.0 is unique. It provides a complete
end-to-end solution for requirements management, model-based systems
engineering, risk management and verification and validation (V&V) across the
entire systems development lifecycle in a single product with a single User
Interface.

Cradle ensures end-user requirements are met by tying them to the methods and
implementation details throughout development. As changes are made, the
application provides traceability to understand and record the effect of a
change in requirements or technical functionality to the rest of the program.
Cradle-6.0 dramatically simplifies the processes of modeling a project and
showing the links between end-user requirements and the plans on how to
implement them. The streamlined workflow makes Cradle even easier to use while
reducing the time it takes to get new users up to speed and effective.

"Customers using the Beta version have been amazed at the new benefits and
improvements in usability," said Mark Walker, President of 3SL. "Making tools
more intuitive and streamlining the steps for modeling projects leads to
projects that are accurate, complete, on time and within budget."

3SL is actively developing its next enhancement, a data cache to meet customers`
interoperability needs. The data cache project is based on the proposed CMIS
standard intended to speed, secure and enhance data retrieval and increase
interoperability with other applications. "While the proposed standard is still
in its early stages, we are developing in-line with the predominate
requirements," stated David Izatt, 3SL`s Chief Software Architect. "Once
released, it will provide an early proof point of the benefits derived from
using this next generation, web services model."

3SL is offering webinars and sessions about Cradle-6.0 enhancements. Visit
