Atego launches Atego Check

CHELTENHAM, USA: Atego, independent supplier of collaborative development tools for engineering complex, mission- and safety-critical systems and software, has launched Atego Check, new product which automates project milestone deliverables and reviews against pre-defined checklists.

"The launch of Atego Check is a significant extension to our Atego Vantage solution, helping our customers achieve certification of their safety-critical systems and software," said Hedley Apperly, vice-president of product and marketing at Atego.

"Atego Check's contemporary, intuitive and fast web browser interface takes the pain out of review and checklist management," added Apperly.

Atego Check initiates reviews automatically by live monitoring of computer disk folders, 15 different source code management systems, web pages, emails, dates and times, and QR codes, and it is integrated with Atego Process Director.

Reviews are automatically initiated and allocated to pre-authorized Atego Check Reviewers, along with the appropriate checklist, from a database of pre-defined and managed checklists. Reviews are comprised of lists of questions to be answered, stored and recorded with an electronic signature and timestamp. A Management dashboard allows for easy monitoring across tasks, projects, teams or entire programs.

Atego Check works on PCs, tablets and smartphones, making it ideal for use in the office or in the field. Its Off-WiFi/Network mode lets you review against checklists on the remotest train lines or the most secure radio environments, putting your checklists where and when you need them most. Companies can build their own auditable checklists or choose from Atego's growing list of pre-defined safety-critical checklists.

"We are extremely pleased to be launching Atego Check," said Richard Horsman, CEO of Atego. "This new product builds on Atego's substantial certification and safety-critical expertise by embedding the knowledge of our DO-178/254 DERs and consultants in a set of pre-defined checklists, which deliver real savings to our safety-critical certified customers."
