Eurotech has always delivered application-ready platforms, from device drivers through the operating system. With Everyware™ Software Framework (ESF), we take that model a step further. ESF is an inclusive software framework that puts a layer between the OS and the OEM application, with industry-standard interfaces that shorten OEM development time, simplify coding, and allow software to be ported from one Eurotech hardware platform to another.
This collection of cohesive software components lets OEMs modify, reconfigure and maintain their application over time, so it evolves as the market demands change. Adaptability and flexibility to meet market requirements gives OEMs a huge competitive advantage over static, fixed functionality software applications. Manage risk through ESF, by selecting the framework that lets you adjust quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
