STRATEGIC INSIGHTS 2012: EMBEDDED SOFTWARE & TOOLS MARKET | Learn More | |||||||||||||
| Summary: | The market highlights from our ongoing coverage of the Embedded Software & Tools market include: The rising competition from open source platforms such as Android has created additional mainstream alternatives to commercial operating systems, with these alternate solutions available from all sides of the embedded industry; All industries cite outsourcing various tasks (e.g. software application development, middleware development, test) as part of their current project development; As the smartphone OS battle continues to intensify, independent device manufacturers such as HTC, LG, and Samsung have avoided committing their entire mobile roadmap to a single platform, instead opting for dual strategies centered around Android and Windows Phone 7; Mobile & Embedded Virtualization (MEV) has emerged as an alternative to address time-to-market pressures and cost-reduction requirements, in the face of mounting complexity now associated with many new embedded systems. VDC’s Strategic Insights 2012: Embedded Software & Tools Market research program will continue to analyze these (and other) emerging trends as well as provide data and insights that will help you to identify, define, prioritize and attack the best market opportunities. |

SOFTWARE & SYSTEM LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT TOOLS MARKET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE | Learn More | |||||||
| Summary: | Over the next two years, more than 50% of embedded engineers expect projects to require some form of web connectivity. Because of this growing trend, engineers and IT developers are being forced to consider each other's system requirements and resources for their own designs. Interconnectivity is also having an impact on product delivery models, allowing for more efficient resource partitioning and creating demand for hosted services and real time access to tools and project analytics. Our 2011 Software and System Lifecycle Management Tools Market Intelligence Service will analyze the markets for embedded and enterprise/IT software and SSLM solutions, providing research deliverables throughout the service year. This in-depth market intelligence service from VDC will help suppliers and other stakeholders sharpen their value propositions and solution development efforts in the software and system lifecycle management tool market.
