Semiconductor companies, independent software and hardware providers, tools vendors and electronic manufacturing services companies work closely with communications equipment companies. Core competencies of such ecosystem providers are typically restricted to their specific domains - hardware, software, or manufacturing services. MindTree recognizes your need to stay competitive in this dynamic marketplace.

MindTree understands the requirement for pre-built components for Proof of Concept (PoC) designs and end-to-end product realization. We can work with you, providing complimentary engineering skill sets to build new products, reference designs, or engineering designs. Our experience with various equipment makers in this domain can help you bring new chips or software to the market fast, while guaranteeing well-regressed products that integrate quickly with your end customer's solutions. We have also made the required investments in lab infrastructure and engineering talent to provide comprehensive testing services to ensure that rolled out products are right the first time.

Typical engagements where you can take advantage of our experience include:
  • Establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE), to offer top-rung professional services to your customers
  • Build and maintain derivatives of reference designs
  • Complete product Realization services
  • Testing and test automation for one-time reference designs as well as a family of ODM products
