“Since its creation (1989), SOFTEAM has been dedicated to model driven development, for which it has developed specific models, tools, consulting and training offers. The advent of UML as a standard, reinforced by the MDA effort inside the OMG, has been a fundamental step toward a general usage of model driven development approaches.
