| Document Title: | SINGLE BOARD COMPUTERS: ENABLING A NEW CLASS OF COMPUTING FOR GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF COST CONTAINMENT | |
| Publication Date: | Aug, 2011 | |
| Excerpt: | According to VDC’s latest demand-side research, as embedded chip, board and systems customers make their purchase decisions, suppliers are increasingly being scrutinized. Across virtually every measurable customer experience category, suppliers are being compared and ranked on their ability to meet or exceed a competitor’s past (and potential) performance. With this as the reality, we believe that it is critical for embedded suppliers to carefully define their specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – as they relate to customer satisfaction – in order to gain market share. | |

| Document Title: | CONSTRAINED BUDGETS PRESENT NEW AVENUE FOR ATCA ADOPTION IN MIL/AERO SEGMENT | |
| Publication Date: | Dec, 2011 | |
| Excerpt: | As of late, US military budgets are facing an increased number of threats. When the government budgetary super committee failed on November 21st to reach an agreement on cuts, it brought about the possibility of a sequestration of funds which now threatens an additional $600 billion in defense spending. This is in addition to the $450 billion the Pentagon was already planning to cut over the next ten years. This hardly bodes well for the future of overall defense spending. | |
