MPC Data expands into South Africa 11/01/2005

MPC Data, Microsoft and Intel have recently delivered a number of highly successful events to the South African embedded community. These events, which were held in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, were intended to explain to South African organisations involved in embedded product development, how our three companies working in partnership, can assist them in delivering high quality, cost effective products to their ever expanding market place.

Following these events, we have already seen a number of business opportunities. Two of these have resulted in our engineers working on site in South Africa, most notably for J D Group, South Africa's leading furniture retailer.

It is our intention to further develop our involvement in the South African market via collaboration with local distributors such as Avnet Kopp and a possible local presence at some time in the future.

MPC Data RoadShows 2003 09/05/2003

Following some very positive feedback from MPC Data's Update Event last October we staged two further events early in June. This years events focused on how IT organisations can limit the costs of software development yet still deliver world class products. The events sessions were presented by clients, partners and MPC Data personnel. These technical sessions focused on how MPC Data has delivered successful projects to satisfied customers by maximising their software development investment:

• Using open source components to access enterprise applications via the web

• Reaching new markets by deploying the same application over many platforms

• Choosing the correct embedded platform to cut time to market

MPC Data roadshows get the thumbs up! 17/10/2002

MPC Data has successfully completed its first ever round of company roadshows. The two events, which were held in Bristol and Windsor, attracted in excess of 60 delegates, comprising a combination of existing clients and companies new to MPC Data. During the event delegates were asked to complete a feedback form asking if they had found the events worthwhile, the result of which was an overwhelming yes! So, watch out for announcements about further events in other parts of the UK.

Mitsubishi Roadshows 03/10/2002

Mitsubishi have now completed a series of seminars to promote their range of M16C and M32C based MCU's. The seminars were free of charge and in addition, all attendees received a FREE 3-Diamonds Development Kit. These were technically biased seminars focusing on areas such as -
• IRDA
• Bluetooth
• Embedded Internet
• Motor Control

Because of MPC Data's proven track record of working with M16C based devices, we were invited to participate in these events. We showed a range of M16C based products that we have developed on behalf of our clients and had staff available to talk about our Mitsubishi development capabilities.

There were five events, all of which were well attended and well received. Look out for more of these in 2003!
