Issued 23/02/2009

Demonstrating Plextek's best-in-class Windows® Embedded design expertise

Plextek, the Cambridge-based electronics and communications design consultancy, announces that two of its senior consultants, Alan Levy and Andrew Scholan, have achieved coveted Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) status. The pair have successfully demonstrated their technical capability and passed formal exams to become a 'Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist Windows® Embedded CE 6.0 Developer'. Alan and Andrew's qualification is part of Plextek's ongoing commitment to cutting edge embedded design using Microsoft Windows® Embedded.

Last year Plextek became the UK's only Microsoft Windows® Embedded Silver Partner and formed a specialist Software Systems Group to develop software for a wide range of Microsoft Windows® Embedded projects requiring complex connected functionality and rapid time to market. The group is a key part of Plextek's comprehensive development package for all aspects of a client's needs, helping them achieve shorter development cycles and a quicker time to market.

"Alan and Andrew have done themselves and Plextek proud by becoming Microsoft Certified Professionals", comments Tim Phipps, Sales & Marketing Director at Plextek. "As the UK's only Microsoft Windows® Embedded Silver Partner, we've made an ongoing commitment to using Microsoft's software and maintaining up to the minute skills. Supporting our engineers in equipping themselves with the highest professional Windows® Embedded qualifications helps us to demonstrate the value and expertise we bring to the market and will play a big part in helping us capture new opportunities and offer our customers better solutions."

Plextek's embedded software development process covers all phases of the design life cycle, from the creation of ideas right through to the manufacture of products. This has the flexibility to be adapted for quick prototyping or rigorous enough to provide a confident path through to volume production.
