Tom Sawyer Software Launches Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering 1.0.0

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, USA, September 30, 2026—Tom Sawyer Software, the leader in graph and data visualization technology, today announced the release of Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering 1.0.0, a modern, web-based product suite built on a knowledge graph architecture that connects planning, processes, system models, supply chain information, and other enterprise data in a shared environment.

Unlike large engineering systems assembled from disconnected applications and data silos, Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering is designed around a connected data foundation, using open-source ArcadeDB graph database to support integrated information across the engineering lifecycle.

State-of-the-art graph and data visualization brings complex engineering information to life through interactive views of flows, networks, models, dependencies, and swimlanes. For manufacturing organizations, the suite supports the engineering V-model by helping teams visualize relationships across planning, design, implementation, verification, and related processes while understanding the downstream impact of change.

“Digital engineering organizations need more than another isolated application or repository. They need a connected foundation that helps them understand how plans, models, processes, and engineering information relate across the lifecycle,” said Brendan Madden, CEO of Tom Sawyer Software. “Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering combines our graph technology with a modern knowledge graph architecture and open-source graph database to give organizations greater visibility into complex systems, improve traceability, and understand the impact of change.”

The suite includes Tom Sawyer Planning, Tom Sawyer Business Process, Tom Sawyer Model-Based Engineering, Tom Sawyer SysML v2 Viewer, Tom Sawyer Data Streams, Tom Sawyer Perspectives, and Tom Sawyer Explorations, giving organizations a modular foundation they can expand as their digital engineering needs evolve.

Key features and benefits of Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering

• Authoritative source of truth: Create a shared, connected foundation across engineering systems, system models, repositories, and processes so teams can work from a more complete and consistent understanding of complex products and programs. A knowledge graph-based architecture helps reduce data silos, improve alignment across functions, and support decisions based on connected information.
  
  
• Connected engineering data and models: Bring together planning, processes, system models, supply chain information, and other enterprise data from different systems and sources within a connected digital engineering environment. This integrated approach helps eliminate information silos and reveals relationships across engineering disciplines, tools, and lifecycle stages.
  
  
• Dependency and change-impact analysis: Visualize complex relationships and trace upstream and downstream dependencies to understand how changes may affect models, systems, teams, releases, resources, processes, and supply chains. Teams can evaluate potential impacts earlier and make more-informed decisions before changes are implemented.
  
  
• End-to-end traceability: Connect information across the engineering V-model, from requirements, architecture, and design through implementation, integration, verification, validation, deployment, and maintenance. Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering provides a foundation for tracing relationships across these stages giving teams greater visibility into how decisions and changes propagate. Better traceability helps users identify inconsistencies, investigate issues, and reduce the risk of unintended downstream effects.
  
  
• Graph-based planning, modeling, and visualization: Use modern graph and data visualization to present complex engineering information through interactive views of flows, networks, models, dependencies, and swimlanes. Teams can visualize system structure, coordinate plans, communicate designs, and better understand how work and information connect across the engineering lifecycle.
  
  
• System, process, and supply chain optimization: Analyze interconnected systems, workflows, resources, and supply chains to identify bottlenecks, evaluate alternatives, reduce costs, improve throughput, and optimize operations. A connected view of these relationships helps organizations understand how changes in one area can affect performance elsewhere.
  
  
• Built on an open graph database foundation: Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering uses ArcadeDB as its graph database backbone, providing a shared foundation for connected engineering information without adding another proprietary data silo. Because ArcadeDB is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, organizations can avoid separate database license fees and reduce the costs associated with commercial graph platforms. For production environments, customers can add commercial ArcadeDB support with service-level commitments and priority assistance, combining open-source flexibility with enterprise support when needed.
  
  
• Flexible, modular deployment: Select the Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering modules that best fit your requirements and flexibly add capabilities as your needs evolve. Organizations can build and expand their digital engineering environment over time without adopting every module at once.
  

Introducing Tom Sawyer Planning

The launch of Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering 1.0.0 also features Tom Sawyer Planning, a new visual planning application for defining and managing strategic initiatives, products, features, releases, teams, and their dependencies within a shared planning model.

Unlike conventional planning tools that rely primarily on linear Gantt charts, Tom Sawyer Planning uses graph visualization to present complex plans as interconnected, nested drawings that reveal hierarchy, flow, and dependency relationships. Coordinated Product, Team, and Release views help users manage complex initiatives while maintaining visibility into relationships across the plan.

Automated graph layout, flexible swimlanes, incremental layout, and advanced routing help keep complex plans clear as they evolve. Interactive navigation allows users to move between high-level plans and detailed relationships, helping teams coordinate work, understand dependencies, and assess the downstream impact of planning changes.

Availability

Tom Sawyer Digital Engineering 1.0.0 is available now. Organizations can select individual modules based on their requirements and add additional capabilities as their digital engineering environment evolves.
