Embedded Planet Expands with MCC System Acquisition

Embedded Planet is forming their Professional Services Division with the acquisition of MCC Systems. Embedded Planet is a leading supplier of embedded systems and single board computers. The company is expanding and MCC System, a known leader in embedded systems training, consulting, and software development, is their preferable choice for their new division. With the acquisition, the MCC Systems staff will form the Professional Services Division of Embedded Planet. Mike McCullough, CEO and President of MCC Systems, will be the Director of the newly formed division.

The Professional Services Division will provide custom software development and training for embedded systems as well as lead the development effort for The Right Tool, a customizable Eclipse-based programming, management and configuration tool for embedded systems.

?With the increasing complexity of embedded systems software and the rapid adoption of Linux in the embedded systems community, our customers have been asking us to provide a broader set of system solutions and capabilities,? said Mark Lowdermilk, CEO of Embedded Planet. ?The acquisition of MCC Systems allows us to quickly address these requests with experienced, talented people who are experts in the field of embedded systems and we are pleased to be working together.?

?The combination of Embedded Planet and MCC Systems allows us to deliver more value to our customers,? said Mike McCullough. ?We can now apply our software development across a broader set of hardware platforms and architectures with earlier access to silicon and our customers will see this benefit in all of our products and services.?
Embedded Planet Professional Services can train a customer on a PowerPC or Xscale processor using Linux or VxWorks and provide the customer with a complete kit after the training.
