only company “Unifying UNIX with Linux for Business,” today introduced
its Professional Services offerings. Through the acquisition of SCO’s Professional Services Division, Caldera
has obtained a 20-year track record in delivering UNIX and Linux solutions
and gained a presence in the small footprint and dedicated function systems
markets. Caldera has already completed a number of UNIX and Linux projects
in this market space including POS terminals, gaming platforms, appliances,
customized desktop clients and specialist servers. Customers currently
include Incredible Technologies, Inc., and Linetex Computer Group, UK.
Incredible Technologies, Inc., from Rolling Meadows, IL is one of the
leading game software providers and video game manufacturers in the world.
They plan to launch an innovative coin operated gaming machine based
on a customized Caldera OpenLinux system, optimized for their platform.
“Caldera’s Professional Services team helped us migrate our entire gaming
software from Microsoft Windows to the Linux platform and produce a low-cost,
ground-breaking product with outstanding performance and functionality,”
said Elaine Hodgson, president and CEO of Incredible Technologies.
Linetex Computer Group, UK has been specializing since 1983 in the maintenance
of computer hardware and operating systems for businesses. They have
been building a managed support server to install in many of the 3,000
computer installations they service around the United Kingdom. Using
Professional Services they have created an optimized small hardware footprint
server based on Linux, which performs remote server and network monitoring,
for their clients.
“The innovative, low-cost solution crafted with help from Caldera’s Professiona
l Services team will delight our customers,” said Alan Bristow, technical
director for Linetex.
Through Caldera’s Professional Services, system builders, VARs, corporate
accounts and OEMs may have global access to experienced business and technical
expertise. This includes Caldera’s LifeSpan Project Methodology, which
