Case Study: a merged French-German defense prime secures auditable requirements management for armored platforms with SPREAD

Merged French-German Defense Prime deploys SPREAD on-prem for 4-jurisdiction defense requirements management

The customer, a merged French-German defense prime, faced a significant challenge managing requirements for its multi-variant armored vehicle platform. Their data was fragmented across Excel, databases, IBM DOORS, and tribal knowledge, making the bid process for new international customers extremely time-intensive and error-prone. SPREAD's Requirements Manager was evaluated to address this critical issue.

SPREAD implemented its proven Requirements Manager architecture, already in production at a peer company. The on-premise solution consolidated the customer's four data sources into a single, queryable knowledge graph with audit-grade, need-to-know access controls built into the data model itself. This provided engineers with fast, confident answers to complex bid questions while strictly adhering to security and compliance protocols.
