One platform. Every tool. Full confidence.
Istari provides an agentic engineering platform for the organizations that build, certify, and operate the most complex systems in the world.
It connects your tools, teams, and data environments into a continuous, auditable workflow without requiring you to give up control of anything.
What Istari Digital does
Modern engineering programs run across dozens of tools, organizations, and classified environments and the system integrity picture is always slightly wrong.
Istari creates a live digital thread: a connected record of every tool, model, simulation, and decision across your program. It gives teams a shared source of truth without centralizing sensitive data. Verification that once took months can happen in minutes.
Trace everything.
Follow any requirement to its model, its simulation, its verification — and back again.
Built for restricted environments.
Istari is designed from the ground up for classified, export-controlled, and air-gapped programs.
Always-on system health.
Know the integrity of your system at any point in the program lifecycle — not just at milestone reviews.
Version control across your stack.
PLMs, requirements databases, simulation tools — Istari keeps a coherent version history across all of them.
How Istari Digital supports you in your role
Leading aerospace and defense primes deploy Istari Digital
Deployed in your environment. Configured for your program. Istari is infrastructure software that runs in your environment — not ours.
We work with your team to deploy and configure the platform to fit your existing toolchain, network topology, and security requirements. Cloud or on-premises, we meet you where your data lives.
RFP Response
Turn multi-day RFI delays into natural-language answers in minutes.
Requirements Validation
Trace every requirement to its simulation, verification, and result in real time.
Agentic Design
Generate and validate designs faster, with full provenance on every output.
TEST PROCEDURES
Link every test directly to its originating requirement, with AI-assisted analysis.
Manufacturing
Resolve change orders in seconds, not hours, across every supplier and environment.
Maintenance/Sustainment
Surface configuration drift and certification gaps before they become compliance failures.
Operations
Maintain a live, verified picture of system health across all configurations.
End of Life
Produce a complete audit trail from first requirement to final disposition
Frequently asked questions
Your engineering data remains within your existing environment. Models, simulations, source data, and derived data can continue to reside on your servers, in your cloud infrastructure, or in storage systems such as S3, MinIO, or Azure Blob Storage. Istari does not require customers to migrate their data into a proprietary repository. Instead, Istari transforms selected engineering information into vendor-neutral, machine-readable representations and maintains traceable relationships back to the authoritative source systems. This approach enables automation, digital thread continuity, and AI-enabled workflows while preserving customer control, data ownership, and system-of-record integrity.
No. Istari does not develop CAD, SysML, simulation, test, manufacturing, or other discipline-specific engineering tools. Istari is designed to operate between the tools, data sources, and lifecycle stages that already exist within an engineering enterprise.
From requirements and acquisition artifacts through design, analysis, test, manufacturing, sustainment, retirement, and disposal, Istari connects data across the lifecycle without replacing the systems of record. Its purpose is to make engineering data more connected, traceable, machine-readable, and accessible for automation and AI.
Istari is a software product company. The company provides a commercial software platform with defined pricing and deployment models, supported by service offerings tailored to customer needs. Support may range from self-service and standard technical assistance to deeper implementation support, training, and white-glove deployment services. These services are intended to accelerate adoption and ensure successful implementation in complex engineering environments, while the core offering remains the Istari software platform.
Istari does not require customers to use a specific AI model or provider, nor does it train proprietary AI models on customer data. Customers may use the AI systems that best fit their mission and security requirements, including commercial models, open-source models, or internally managed AI capabilities. Istari provides the vendor-neutral data foundation that allows engineering data from across the enterprise to be securely accessed, interpreted, and used by those AI systems. By preserving traceability, auditability, and customer control, Istari helps organizations apply AI to complex engineering workflows in a secure, governed, and operationally useful way.
Istari maintains a growing library of integrations across CAD, systems engineering, solvers, and productivity tools — including Dassault (CATIA, ENOVIA, Cameo), Siemens NX, PTC Creo & Windchill, MATLAB & Simulink, MSC Nastran, ANSYS HFSS, and the Microsoft and Google productivity suites, among others. For programs with homegrown or bespoke tools, Istari also provides an Integration SDK that allows customers to build their own modules — so any tool that can be scripted can be connected to the platform.
