Rational Software Products and the Rational Unified Process® (RUP) have become vital to the ITS Standards process.  The standards process has adopted a formal system engineering process requiring the use of a concept of operations, user needs, functional requirements and interface specifications.  Products such as Rose® and RequisitePro® enable engineers and managers to more effectively document and manage requirements and requirements traceability from concept of operation through interface specifications.

"Trevilon has worked closely with Rational and their products to ensure that our clients receive the most appropriate solution for their requirements," said Kenneth Vaughn, Trevilon President.  "To demonstrate our level of dedication to the services Trevilon offers, we felt that it was essential to have our consultants certified in the Rational technologies.”

"Rational is very pleased to welcome Trevilon as the first Intelligent Transportation Systems company to achieve Bronze level in our program.  Trevilon’s focus and dedication to certifying their consultants in Rational technologies will help them ensure their customers’ success in their ITS projects," said Paul Coppolino, Rational Partner Alliance Manager.
