This privately-owned, research and development company is a leader in DSP algorithm research and development and in applying advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques to time-critical problems. These techniques are used for signal characterization and identification, spectral analysis, filtering and demodulation, interference cancellation, and signal tracking. The client base includes various departments and agencies of the United States government and their applications are used worldwide. The R&D company is also a leader in developing and providing software products for signal-processing application development and analysis.
One such product is an object-oriented software tool kit for developing DSP processing applications and performing DSP analysis. The client company wanted to expand the availability of this software product to organizations that preferred to run on IBM platforms. This required that more than 600,000 lines of source code be ported in a compressed timeline in order to meet marketing objectives.
The client did not have the necessary skills to migrate the tool kit from the Sun Solaris operating system to the IBM AIX operating system and their internal staff was focused on ongoing development. The client was intrigued by the idea of having Sector7 focus on porting applications cost effectively while allowing the internal staff to continue with ongoing development. Sector7's 17 years of application migration experience provided the best solution.
