Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) May 10, 2005
CoroWare Inc., an innovative systems integration firm and mobile service robotics specialist, today announced it has joined Microsoft's Windows Embedded Partner Program, a Microsoft initiative that helps partners market their offerings and helps customers find products and solutions based on the Windows Embedded operating systems. CoroWare is the first mobile service robotics company that has joined the program.
"Windows XP Embedded is ideal for our development efforts and, in turn, for our customers because it's lightweight and optimized for networked applications," said Lloyd Spencer, CoroWare's president and CEO. "The Windows Embedded Partner Program offers us the resources that we need to build awareness for our products and get our message out to customers and potential partners. It's a powerful blend of proven technology and effective marketing."
CoroWare is using the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system to power its mobile service robots, which are based on de facto standards, off-the-shelf hardware and proven software. By using standard off-the-shelf components, CoroWare's robotics integration team can help customers build robotics solutions at a fraction of the cost of projects that have typically required specialized parts. CoroWare is also the only mobile service robotics-focused developer in Microsoft's Windows XP Embedded distribution channel.
"CoroWare is a welcome addition to the Windows Embedded Partner Program," said Sue Wilenzick, senior marketing manager for the Windows Embedded Partner Program at Microsoft. "The company's experience in embedded systems and in designing and integrating robotics solutions using Windows XP Embedded makes CoroWare an exciting addition to the strong Windows Embedded partner ecosystem."
