Acro Helps Design Automotive Cockpit of the
Future
A major automotive supplier selected Acro's Engineering Services team to
help develop an embedded system as part of a radical new cockpit design.
The goal of the project was
to reduce the size, cost, and complexity of the audio, climate control,
and driver information subsystems by developing software to
reside on five networked modules. Acro contributed to the successful
launch of a prototype vehicle in three important ways:
-
Designed embedded code to validate
hardware design and serve as a quality control mechanism during
manufacturing.
-
Developed and managed all software
testing
-
Developed software tools to test
system hardware and software after installation in the vehicle.
NASA Benefits from Acro's Complete Services
One
of NASA's major divisions had a tall order. It needed a partner
that could not only provide IT Services, but assist with reducing its
supplier base, assume management of a transportation division, and find
ways to reduce costs in the process. It was an order only Acro
Service Corporation could fill. Recognizing the diversity of
Acro's services and the added value of its transition management, NASA
awarded the company a five year contract.
Since contract inception, Acro has assigned more than 200 IT staff
members to division projects, including: software engineers, project
managers, database administrators, communication engineers, network
administrators, systems managers, configuration specialists, and
auditors.
Offshore
Development Aids Internet Grocer
Faced with overwhelming
consumer response after the debut of its web site, a Boston-based
Internet grocer needed to revamp its order processing systems in a
hurry. The company wanted to work with a single vendor that could
provide the necessary hardware, software, and integration services
needed to address their capacity issues.
By using Oracle e-Business products and harnessing its 24/7 offshore
development centers, Acro was able to stabilize the customer's
environment and develop a solution that reduced order fulfillment errors
by 95 percent.
