A Silver Anniversary for a Platinum Partner!
Windsor, CT (PRWEB) December 29, 2016 -- This year, Bloomy Controls, Inc. (Bloomy) has been recognized by National Instruments (NI) for 25 years as an Alliance Partner! With over 1,000 members in over 70 countries, the NI Alliance Partner Network has grown significantly over the past 25 years, and Bloomy has grown right along with it. Originally starting as a regional custom systems and services provider, Bloomy now provides platforms nationally, as well as products internationally.
Peter Blume, Bloomy’s President, founded the company in 1991. Peter began integrating systems using LabWindows™ for DOS version 1.2, and LabVIEW™ 2.5 - the first LabVIEW version available for Microsoft Windows 3.1. In the same year Bloomy was invited to become an Alliance Partner. Along with NI and fellow Alliance network peers, Bloomy helped drive the virtual instrumentation revolution, in which PCs, NI software and plug-in hardware were combined to automate and transform traditional instrumentation into user-defined automated test and measurement systems.
In 1999, Bloomy was among the first group of NI Select Integration Partners. By 2001 the company expanded to new offices in Massachusetts and New Jersey. To promote consistent quality among multiple developers in multiple locations, the company established a rigorous set of LabVIEW best practices including a style guide and code review process. In 2007, Bloomy set the industry standard for LabVIEW development style by publishing its internal coding standards in The LabVIEW Style Book (© 2007, Prentice Hall).
“Our achievements as an Alliance Partner are all because of our world-class team of NI certified architects,” says Peter Blume. "We’ve had an extraordinary track record in building high-performance solutions based on the NI platform that exceed customer expectations.”
In both 2013 and 2014, NI awarded Bloomy "Outstanding Technical Resources - Platinum Level". Today, Bloomy has a portfolio of platforms and products powered by NI technology for electronics functional test, aerospace real-time test, and battery test and simulation.
During NIWeek 2016, Tony Vento, NI Vice President of Systems Assurance and Partners commented, “I have worked with Bloomy since they became an Alliance Partner in 1991. Bloomy rapidly advanced to our top tier of the program and has consistently been an outstanding partner with a strong commitment to NI. Their 25-year anniversary marks their remarkable achievements and progression as a company.”
