Arrow Electronics has signed agreements with MPC Data and Adeneo Embedded that will allow it to offer free technical support when designing products based on Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES7).
Training and design services firms MPC Data and Adeneo Embedded both have Windows Embedded Gold Partner status.
Under the terms of the agreement with Arrow the two companies will provide qualifying Arrow customers with free technical support across Europe.
"We already work extensively with Arrow providing support services and training for customers in the UK and the Nordic region," said Alan Rowe of MPC Data.
Adeneo Embedded's Yannick Chammings added: "With many years of collaboration with Arrow both in Europe and North America, providing free technical support for customers is the next stage in an ongoing relationship."
To apply for free support customers will have to first purchase an appropriate Microsoft Windows Embedded Toolkit from Arrow.
In addition to covering Microsoft WES7 designs, under the terms of the agreements MPC Data and Adeneo Embedded can also offer support for Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 and other Microsoft Windows embedded technologies.
