In 1984 a contract was awarded from the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to develop a software program to record and manage a library of electronic components and equipment. In January 1985, the software program "MilLib" was delivered satisfactorily to the MOD and further contracts were awarded. These included a major contract to develop a software program to predict the reliability of electronic components based on the military handbook MIL-HDBK-217, published by the US Department of Defense (DOD). The software program "MilStress" was released in 1986 with huge success and was thereafter available "off the shelf" to any company that required to perform a reliability analysis based on the MIL-HDBK-217 standard.MilStress is still in use worldwide across a number of industries, due in part to its accuracy, reliability and ease of use.

The MilStress program has since gone through many phases and in its current form, ITEM ToolKit`s MIL-HDBK-217 module , is still recognised as the best available on the market.
