February 27, 2007 — Bellevue, WA — ITTIA Database and HCL Technologies, a developer of the smart GUI toolkit EmPresent, have announced a strategic alliance aimed at helping customers to develop embedded technologies with reduced cost and accelerated time to market. This alliance unites the breadth and depth of each company's developer toolsets enabling easy, productive, and intelligent development of embedded software.
ITTIA provides light-weight database management software for the embedded systems industry, working in such devices as networking equipment, industrial controllers, consumer electronics, and set-top boxes. ITTIA database technology is suitable for mission-critical devices and environments with extremely limited memory and processor resources.
HCL EmPresent, a smart GUI toolkit with powerful Visual Editor on Windows, offer embedded application developers a rich set of widgets to build a powerful embedded multilingual Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is platform independent.
With ITTIA's database and HCL's EmPresent Visual Editor software, developers no longer have to write data management or GUI source code from scratch. This combination gives developers both an interface framework and database development support in one package. As part of this effort, ITTIA and Empresent have developed a joint demo available at:

Traditionally, embedded devices have rudimentary display interfaces with no development-time design tools. Similarly, standard, easy-to-use data management software, prevalent in enterprise development, has been unavailable in the embedded space. But now with new technology released by ITTIA and HCL, embedded developers can benefit from efficient, scalable solutions to problems faced in every application. With the combination of ITTIA database and EmPresent embedded developers are not only able to get up and running quickly, but are also saved the cost and hassle of purchasing two unknown and untested software tools.
Embedded developers can now develop graphical user interfaces that are more engaging, more dynamic and more useful, said Sasan Montaseri, ITTIA President. Better yet, they can combine our high-performance, bullet proof database software with a reliable GUI, both products designed from the ground up for embedded systems.
ITTIA embedded Database integrated with EmPresent GUI brings a suite of Embedded Solutions on the Smart Devices capturing the User Experience in all walks of Life. After the initial success in Japan & APAC for EmPresent, now it is geared towards Partner Product Integration with Embedded Database and other embedded components to help the growing embedded Design Houses in U.S Market, was highlighted by Shailesh K. Gupta, Product Manager & Business Head, HCL.
