Zuken Vitech Launches Web Companion to GENESYS

Zuken Vitech, provider of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) solutions, has launched Sidekick, a web-based companion to its flagship MBSE platform, GENESYS. Sidekick was developed to boost collaboration efforts. The solution also unveils capabilities that make system models that increase integration into broader engineering processes.

“Sidekick is a direct response to the needs of our customers who want to make models more accessible and actionable across teams,” says Daniel Nguyen, principal product manager for Zuken Vitech. “With this launch, we’re enabling users not only to build great models but also to connect those models to the decision-making and review processes that drive real engineering outcomes.”

The first feature released in Sidekick is model review and commenting. This capability allows review managers to assemble tailored review packages that may include an entire model, selected elements, or cross-project data—and assign specific review tasks to individual stakeholders. 

Once assigned, reviewers can log into Sidekick through a secure web interface, where they view the status of their tasks, examine model content, and provide feedback. The platform supports threaded, contextual commenting and digital conversations that remain linked to the relevant model artifacts.

Sidekick transforms the review process from static document-based efforts into an interactive, traceable digital workflow. It expands the reach of MBSE.

Additional capabilities are in development as Sidekick evolves into a companion platform for stakeholder engagement within MBSE initiatives.
