Work with Istari Digital
Istari works with government buyers, engineering software companies, and academic institutions. However your organization intersects with the digital engineering ecosystem, we’re here to partner with you.
Procurement
Every engagement starts at the executive level, because the organizations we work with are dealing with challenges that require alignment across leadership before anything else.
Here's what the process looks like
We start with a focused conversation between your leadership and ours. No demos, no slide decks. Just a direct exchange about where your program is, what's breaking down, and whether Istari is the right fit.
Once there's mutual interest, we move quickly. Standard NDA, scoped to protect both sides, signed before any sensitive program details are shared.
We develop a tailored brief for your specific environment, your tools, your classification requirements, your program structure. This isn't a generic product overview. It reflects your problem.
From there, implementation is faster than most organizations expect. Depending on complexity, a working solution can be in place in as little as one week. More complex programs typically take up to four weeks. Either way, you'll know what to expect before we start.

Technology Partners
Istari is built on open architecture. If your tools are already in the hands of engineers working on complex programs, connecting them to Istari is a natural next step for you and your customers.
Some of our AI-Native technology partnerships include: nTop, Luminary.
Why partner with Istari Digital
Your customers are already working in fragmented environments. Istari gives them a way to connect their tools without rebuilding their stack.
Open architecture means integration is technically straightforward.
Programs that solve similar pain points, have a stronger value proposition for the customer.
Industry & Academic Partners
Istari Digital partners with industry, government, and academia to advance secure, certifiable digital engineering—working on challenges no single company or institution can solve alone: interoperability, trusted data exchange, certification by analysis, and the practical use of AI in safety-critical environments.
We contribute to industry-wide standards through organizations such as OMG, AIAA and PDES, Inc., where collaboration across companies, government agencies, standards bodies, and universities is shaping the future of digital engineering.
Our academic partnerships extend this into research and education. We work with universities on research and teaching involving secure data exchange, model-based collaboration, and AI-enabled workflows, and support future engineers through guest lectures and internships.
