(Model Based) System architecture & engineering<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Example<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When your system architecture needs a change or update, Van Niekerk Engineering will in collaboration with you, (re)design or change your system architecture and give you advise. In VNE’s view, there is no “one size fits all”. The same goes for VNE’s way of system engineering.
Also, VNE will use the most applicable method for your situation, for example SysML 1.7, Arcadia, Modelica or other. PERT and Gantt charts may also be used in the process.

Enterprise architecture & business processes<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Example<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When enterprises or institutes either grow, are taken over or otherwise change due to circumstances, the architecture has to change accordingly. Before you can make the change happen, it is wise to design the architecture and document the changes.
Van Niekerk Engineering will, in collaboration with you, (re)structure and (re)design your enterprise and business processes. For this, the most applicable method will be used, for example ArchiMate 3.2, BPMN 2.0, Structured Design or other. PERT and Gantt charts may also be used in the process.
Due to the time it takes to create a full Archimate Solution Architecture Document, the cost of it is \u20ac 4000 of which 50% paid in advance. VAT not included.
