Microsoft Windows Embedded: Official Partner
Our Windows Embedded partnership has been a fundamental foundation from the beginning and of course with good reason. Windows embedded is a stripped back version of the standard Windows OS variations, this allows industrial users to utilize more space that is usually taken up by larger operating systems. This therefore allows us to fully build systems with integrated content ready-to-go for our clients ensuring the smoothest integration into your facilities or devices.However, a lot is changing with Windows Embedded and the family of operating systems is growing to accommodate the ever-expanding needs of the infinite number of industries who will utilize the various forms. The embedded system allows you to customize intelligent systems for your exact specification to gather, store and process data for actionable business intelligence. As a longstanding Windows Embedded partner we understand that there is very fine definitions between all the numbers and levels of software available, so we thought we’d give you a head start, but for further information we have a full write-up ready and waiting to give you the full run down. Being a Microsoft Partner and building embedded solutions based on windows embedded enables us to experience the full-breadth of Microsoft technologies and provide you with end-to-end solutions.
With our Embedded partner experience not only can we build intelligent systems but the embedded partner network extends the power of Windows and Microsoft technologies to edge devices allowing the software to meet unique industry requirements and span enterprises of any size and/or complexity.

Windows Embedded IoT: Official Partner
Windows 10 has taken a bit of a different turn however. As a part of Microsoft’s desire to get us and all our devices connected, Windows 10 Embedded is now newly dressed as Windows IoT. Microsoft’s Embedded versions have existed for over 15 years and in that time pretty much every version of Windows has had an embedded incarnation such as XP, 7, 8 and now 10. For more information on the whole windows family see hereWindows 10 IoT Enterprise
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is a direct descendant of the Windows Embedded OS family, it entails an x86 version of Windows designed to run unattended in non-PC devices such as POS, Kiosk, ATM or outdoor displays. It can run all varieties of Windows applications due to its backwards compatibility with applications created decades ago. For instance if you’re running Windows XP Embedded (end of life 2016) then it is the natural progression.It works therefore in perfect harmony with the Azure cloud which Microsoft is reinforcing to compete against Google and Amazon variations. However Microsoft has a secret weapon- the Azure Stack, which many businesses have been waiting for and are going to have to wait a little longer until 2017. Microsoft have one huge advantage over Google and Amazon. For decades companies have depended on Microsoft operating systems, it is instilled into so many and Microsoft recognize this and are therefore looking to capitalize and bring Azure to them by producing integratable private clouds for individual entities as a part of an effortless transition.
Windows 10 IoT Core
Windows 10 IoT Core is optimized for smaller, lower cost industry devices such as IoT gateways and micro-kiosks for single line business applications. It runs the Universal Windows App and sits comfortably in-line with other Windows 10 editions for simplified integration and to allow you to develop, configure and manage tools in the format that you are accustomed to. IoT Core is a free download available without the usual licensing required for embedded partners. However It is designed to run on resource limited equipment and not suitable for general purpose computing though despite missing a system UI, it is a fully functional OS that will also take advantage of core Windows APIs.If you are new to embedded, or are considering upgrading call either of our offices as it is well worth a considered chat with one of our technical team to decipher the most suiting option for your application: see the contact details below ↓
