Praxis Limited and High Integrity Systems Limited are merging to create Praxis High Integrity Systems, a company dedicated to delivering the best in high integrity systems engineering. The companies will trade as Praxis High Integrity Systems from 11th October 2004 and will formally merge from 3rd January 2005.

The new company remains part of the 16,000 strong Altran Group, a recognised global leader in innovative engineering and technical partner to the Renault F1 team. Praxis High Integrity Systems will lead the service offering in High Technology Engineering for Altran’s US and Northern European business. Altran expects to invest in further growth and international development for the new company, already employing 120 engineers and consultants known for the superlative quality of their contribution to developing vital systems across business and industry.

For more than 20 years, Praxis and HIS have already successfully delivered systems and engineering consultancy across the Aerospace and Defence, Automotive, Rail, Nuclear, Telecommunications and Finance sectors, so the merged company will be a stronger force in these markets in future. Combining proven domain knowledge and experience with new service offerings such as Security Engineering and Delivery Management means more opportunities for new and existing clients to work with the new team.

In a business environment where clients want dependable supply partners able to offer leading-edge services and innovative solutions, Praxis High Integrity Systems delivers. Our client-focussed approach is specifically aimed at understanding client’s needs and challenges and adapting our best-in-class principled engineering to meet those needs. Our goal is always to deliver the right solution at the right quality – fit for purpose first time.

With ‘lean’ engineering processes understood by all our staff, Praxis HIS brings a team approach that makes rapid strides in building resilient solutions to highly complex problems. And to prove it has ultimate confidence in its abilities to do so, Praxis HIS regularly arranges fixed price and gainshare contracts with clients.

Our mission is to be a successful and agile company founded on technical engineering excellence, capable of creating and developing the best engineering talent. The new organisation is structured to deliver this with a mix of Market Sector specialists and Communities of Expertise (CoEx), including Software Engineering, Systems Engineering (including Requirements Engineering), Project/Operational Risk Management, Programme Delivery Management, Safety Engineering, Security Engineering and Human Factors. Each CoEx is hard at work delivering not just expertise into customer projects but also Intellectual Property in the form of software products, training courses, tool templates and more.
