VDC Research Selects Mentor Graphics as Winner for Embeddy Award
Software Company Awarded with Best of Show at Embedded World 2018

NATICK, MA | March 14, 2018 - VDC Research, the leading market intelligence and advisory firm for the connected world, announced that Mentor Graphics was selected as the winner of the annual Embeddy Award for Software at Embedded World 2018 for their Mentor Embedded IoT Framework (MEIF).

Award

The Embeddy award winner was carefully chosen from all the software innovations exhibited during the event. Award nominees were evaluated on specific criteria: corporate, technological and industry significance, with the selection of an overall “Best-of-Show” winner for the most cutting-edge hardware and software products or services.

“The rate of change and level of complexity facing engineering organizations today is forcing a reevaluation of incumbent development solutions, and those that can ease integration with IoT cloud services and speed time to market are being placed at a premium,” said Chris Rommel, Executive VP of IoT & Embedded Technology at VDC Research. “Supporting a range of processor architectures, operating systems and IoT Cloud platforms, MEIF delivers on that charter and offers IoT developers a flexible platform to both accelerate development and enable future design evolution.”

“We are honored to receive the 2018 VDC Embeddy Award for our newly announced Mentor Embedded IoT Framework (MEIF) which provides a secure Industrie 4.0 solution for edge and end node smart devices,” stated Scot Morrison, general manager of platform technology, Embedded Systems Solutions at Mentor, a Siemens Business. “VDC’s recognition of our unique IoT framework is greatly appreciated, further validating the need for a robust, scalable, and portable device-to-cloud connectivity solution for multi-cloud environments.”

VDC created and named the Embeddy Awards to highlight companies announcing important advances in the IoT and embedded software and hardware industries. The Embeddy is awarded for the most cutting-edge product or service for embedded software developers and system engineers.
