Embedded Architectural Consulting Services
In the early stages of the New Product Design/Product Extension life-cycle, many product development teams are faced with making tough technology decisions. These engineering/marketing trade-off studies can sometimes be unnecessarily lengthy. One of the most common reasons for this seemingly endless analysis loop is a lack of expertise in new and emerging technologies.
Answers to the following questions are needed:
- Is the feature set reasonable, given the schedule and the state of current and future available hardware/software technology?
- What will be the likely Bill-of-Material (BOM) costs?
- Which Architecture will meet both the performance and unit cost goals?
- Which Processor Architecture?
- Which OS or RTOS?
- Proprietary or Open Source?
- Which design tools?
- How long will it take to develop working prototypes?
- Where are the greatest technology risks, and how can they be mitigated?
We work jointly with your extended team (yes, even with Marketing and Manufacturing) to boil down the emerging requirements and define a set of critical technical questions. Vanteon's experts then deliver the data, analysis, and recommendations that can help your project team to move ahead with confidence.
The architectural study also allows our clients to see the value of including Vanteon in further design projects. We are many times requested to perform portions of the remaining design and test activities.
