Visualize and prototype application requirements
Business Analysts and Consultants can now plan, model, and prototype applications before any development begins. Bridge the requirements communication gap between business and IT by transforming the process of defining enterprise application software. With Serena® Composer® you can model business processes, user interfaces, system connections and application data visually in an integrated, easy to use environment.
Plan, model and prototype applications before one line of code is ever written. With Composer's graphical approach to discovery and definition of requirements, the results are remarkable.
