Chip Design Review
Design reviews. Architectural analyses. Software evaluations. We do all this (and more) for blue-chip clients all over the world. We'll help you choose the right microprocessor for your next project, evaluate the software issues, weight the benefits of different operating systems, and give you a heads-up on new products and technologies. Past clients have found these in-depth and confidential reviews very helpful and a real eye-opener for both the engineering and the marketing staff.
Product Review & Market Analysis
This service comes in two parts: a “deep dive” into your product's technical features followed by a detailed look into the unusual buying preferences of embedded-system developers. We'll suggest both technical and marketing tips, as applicable. We'll formulate a strong plan that covers the whole package.
What's the Best Processor For You?
With more than 100 different processors available, how will you choose the right one? You can't afford the time or reassign the talent for this important decision. Your choice of CPU or MPU will live with you (and your company) for years. Can you really evaluate all the good ones? Have you weighed all the important software, hardware, support, and development-tool options? The final decision is always yours, but make sure it's an educated one.
Keynotes, Panels, and Events
Education and entertainment. Any good seminar, keynote, or lunchtime talk should provide both. Past audiences have given rave reviews for the combination of insight, entertainment, knowledge, and style. Let us combine practical information with friendly delivery that makes even the most complex topics entertaining and educational.
