Los Altos Hills, CA (PRWEB) December 9, 2004 -- Aton International, Inc.,
Specialists in Mobile Device Integration, Data Access and Smart Client software,
today announced it is offering new service packages for mobile and embedded
system software development. These Service Packages, starting at $2850 USD, are
targeted to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and System Integrators (SIs) or Value Added Resellers
(VARs).
Charles Wilde, CTO and Founder of Aton International commented,
“Most leading edge software projects are iterative in nature, meaning that
information discovered later in the project can change work done previously.
However, changes, especially in the later stages of a project, can be very
costly both in time and money. Our new service packages provide a way for our
clients to gain greater flexibility over the outcome of the
project.”
“Knowledge gained from the completed work can be factored into
the deliverable for the next module along with changes resulting from the
competitive environment, hardware developments or other considerations. By
managing the project through service package increments, our clients have both
flexibility and control over the overall direction of the project, while, at the
same time, our engineering resources are empowered to develop a specific, near
term result,” said Wilde.
Aton offers three types of service packages.
They are:
-Software Analysis and Planning -- Microsoft Windows XP Embedded
Jumpstart,
-Software Analysis and Planning -- Microsoft Windows Mobile
Pocket PC Jumpstart, and
-Mobile and Embedded Engineering and Consulting
Services Packages
The Software Analysis and
Planning service packages provide the key information that managers need to move
an existing product to the Windows Embedded, Windows CE or Pocket PC platforms
faster and with less risk. Senior level staff provide expert guidance on
potential problem areas to allow the client to get the new product to market
sooner.
The Engineering and Consulting service packages allow for
iterative development of software. Each package spans a small, one to four week
increment of engineering time with a defined deliverable and a fixed cost.
The new service packages make it easy to start work quickly, and add or
change requirements in successive increments, as needed. At the completion of
each increment, clients have the ability to allocate the next increment to the
most appropriate resources. This method of working in short time increments with
defined deliverables is ideally suited for solving urgent problems, filling gaps
or jumpstarting development while employees are being hired. It offers the
ultimate blend of flexibility and control.
To help clients get started
on a project, Aton International offers free mobile application development
planning worksheets. Links to the free worksheets and additional information
