On Offshoring and Managing Virtual Teams
“Having engineers in multiple locations in several different countries is practically a requirement these days. It can lower cost, expand capacity, and speed up development as a global team allows for a virtual “around the clock” work schedule.” – Carey Butler, Offshoring Confidential, Embedded Systems Design
On Best Practices of Software Development
“Experienced embedded engineering managers will agree that the widely quoted statistic from the 10th edition of the Standish’s Group annual CAOS report [Reference 1] – that less than 20% of software projects are delivered on-time and on-budget with all specified features and functions – applies juts as equally to embedded software projects as to enterprise or desktop software projects.” – Carey Butler, Best Practices of Embedded Software Development, Embedded Systems Conference – Silicon Valley 2006
On Going Green in Embedded
“RoHS and WEEE Compliance are reshaping international business practices as embedded OEMs invest to meet requirements.” - Carey Butler
IP Issues Facing Software Companies Working with Strategic Partners
