Benchmark Software Development Team provides a wide range ofsupport ranging from application and software driver development totest and diagnostic development for OEMs in the embedded applicationmarket.

As an integral part of Benchmark Electronics suite of designservices, the software development team is available to providesoftware support for the design and testing needs of OEM in themedical, telecommunications, computer, testing/instrumentation andindustrial controls industries. Benchmark leverages our technicalrelationships with several leading CPU vendors to complement oursoftware team development capabilities.

Our ISO9001 certified processes provide requirements trace-ability and a disciplined design approach throughout the design process. In support of our design efforts, various tools and methods are used for bug and issue tracking, revision control, code reviews, code inspections and functional verification.

Benchmark Electronics software development team goal is to provide our customers with software services that successfully meet their design requirements within their project schedule and budget. This is achieved by following the Benchmark Design Service processes which are adaptable to our customers needs.

Our engineers also strive to enhance their technical skills and acquire new developmental toolset capabilities to meet our customers ever-changing needs.

The Benchmark Software Development Team can provide BIOS, firmware,application and driver development support. Our Software Engineershave experience with AMI BIOS development utilizing AMIBIOS8 andrelated development tools, but are also capable of supportingdevelopment with other BIOS solutions.
