Case Study

SageTea Entreprise

Build enterprise applications directly from business requirements

SageTea Software is an Ottawa-based company that has developed a fundamental breakthrough in creating software applications. Our proprietary Text-to-Software® development platform uses natural language to automatically create enterprise-level software directly from business requirements, for a fraction of the cost and in far less time compared to traditional programming methodologies.

The flexibility and speed of our Text-to-Software platform makes it an ideal choice for organizations in the energy, defense, asset management, healthcare, and mobile industry sectors.

Army Mission Planning Tool

In the fall of 2014 SageTea was approached by a global defense company to assess SageTea’s Text to Software Platform in developing an Army Mission Planning Tool for system management. Ideally, the mission planning tool would allow an Army planner to upload orders and supporting documentation, enter minimal additional information, and produce an output file that could be used to configure the operational Network/Communication System. Such a tool could provide a useful outcome to the Army, namely increasing mission speed and/or accuracy.
