With the new, integrated Wind River, our developers get a proven reliable operating system, increased productivity from the tools, and a chain of integrated protocols and applications available for the industry's premier platforms. Inc. Lisle, Illinois One of the reasons we've been so happy with Wind River is the strength of their development tools. The establishment of a new business unit focused exclusively on embedded software development tools, which is resulting from the merger, can only serve to advance what is already a superior product feature.
Wind River is indisputably the world class leader in embedded software development tools.
We highly appreciate Wind River's reliable solutions and strong support services. We were able to avoid the time and effort typically spent integrating a real-time operating system, network processor drivers, and switched Ethernet management software and instead focus on addressing the unique challenges posed by industrial automation applications. This allowed Hirschmann to maintain its leadership as the unique supplier of network and automation solutions for the whole range of data communications in the office and industrial markets. Now, with the combined resources resulting from this merger at its disposal, Wind River has an even greater engineering team working on networking solutions. This will enable us to deliver even more advanced platforms and tools designed to quickly bring cutting-edge products to market.
