Consulting Services

The Barr Group specializes in providing unbiased firmware process and architecture guidance to engineering directors, technical managers, and their teams. Each Barr Group consultant is a senior, experienced engineer who also communicates clearly and effectively in writing and in person.

Better Decisions

An independent Barr Group consultant or team can help you quickly make high-quality, time-saving decisions about:

• Hardware/software partitioning
• Processor selection
• RTOS selection
• Development tool selection
• Adoption of development processes (e.g., Agile/XP/TDD)

Each of these is an important front-end decision that will have lingering effects on project success. The impact of a poor front-end decision can doom a project. Every discussion with a Barr Group consultant pays for itself many times over.

Engagements with Barr Group can be structured as:

• Architecture planning/improvement
• Process planning/improvement
• Design reviews
• Code reviews
• Security reviews
• Project rescues
