Reducing cost without redesign
1 min read
An embedded software specialist has launched an initiative to limit embedded software problems during the present economic conditions.
The new service, Embedded Software Optimisation (ESO) has been designed by Pebble Bay to enable OEMs to improve existing products at a cheaper cost than the development of new products.
Pebble Bay's ESO services seek to provide improvements by optimising code in products already in the field to a given pre agreed performance metric. Performance improvements are then pursued through a three phase engagement of analysis, development and test, with an optional fourth maintenance component.
Nick McNamara, commercial director at Pebble Bay, said: "We have formalised our ESO strategy in response to a decline in new projects on our horizon. OEMs still need to add functionality and build upon their long term platform product strategies. However, with present design budgets, few are able to. ESO re-enables and extends their platform capabilities at a fraction of the NRE redesign cost."
