Wind River Named to Software Development Times 100 List
- WIND RIVER PLATFORM strategy recognized by SD Times 100 as redefining the RTOS market
- Award, coupled with Wind River's 1000 seat adoption milestone, further validates that WIND RIVER PLATFORMS are gaining traction as companies look to streamline embedded software development processes.
Most recently, Wind River announced that it delivered against its previously stated objective of ending the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 with more than 1,000 enterprise license seats booked. The award, coupled with this milestone, further validates the WIND RIVER PLATFORM strategy and is proof that the market-specific PLATFORMS are gaining traction.
"We are pleased and honored that SD Times noted the innovation and impact of our integrated embedded platforms," said David Fraser, group vice president, products for Wind River Systems. "In five short months, more than 100 global customers across Wind River's five vertical markets, have adopted our new PLATFORMS to help address the lack of standardization and inefficiencies in their current development programs"
With WIND RIVER PLATFOMRS, companies can standardize on a single platform across multiple projects, thereby reducing software development costs while increasing product reliability and time to market. Wind River's market-specific integrated embedded platforms tightly integrate Wind River's real-time operating systems, tools, connectivity software and management features with reference hardware and service credits to provide a complete foundation for embedded software development.
With the introduction of WIND RIVER PLATFORMS, the company also introduced a new subscription-based model, with per-seat pricing, designed to help customers gain control of their development costs and therefore improve profitability.
"The SD Times 100 looked for companies which set a direction that developers and the industry followed in 2002," said Alan Zeichick, editor-in-chief of SD Times. "When choosing the SD Times 100, we carefully considered each company's offerings and reputation, as well as the attention and conversation we've heard around the company and its products and technologies, as a sign of leadership within the industry."
