EB IS AUTHORIZED MICROSOFT AUTO TRAINING PARTNER


EB is among the first companies authorized to offer training courses for the Microsoft Auto software platform. EB qualified itself as a training partner for Microsoft Auto as a software and operating system expert in the automotive sector and on the basis of its long experience as Windows Embedded Gold Partner and a provider of customized training courses.
 
"We are delighted to have EB in the new Microsoft Auto training partner program" said Kunju Kothari, Director of Business Development at Microsoft, "Their extensive experience in working with automakers and suppliers on Microsoft Auto based infotainment solutions, combined with their established training practice, positions EB to meet the growing demand for Microsoft Auto technical education."
 
EB's practical, hands-on training is suitable for customers who are new to the software platform as well as for companies already working with Microsoft Auto.
 
"Our long experience in the Automotive and Windows Embedded sector enables us to help our customers to develop solutions for automotive infotainment and navigation solutions based on Microsoft's technologies," explains Martin Schleicher, Director Products & Platforms Infotainment at EB.
 
When it comes to Microsoft Auto and Windows Embedded, EB offers standard and customized trainings, system integration as well as software products such as "EB street director" and "EB GUIDE". The white label navigation software "EB street director" is available for automotive and consumer markets and can be easily customized and thereby creates navigation solutions with a unique customer specific feature set and their own brand experience. With its model-based approach, the HMI development tool "EB GUIDE" offers its users functionality which, above all, leads to significant improvements in work flow performance and considerable time savings.
 
Visit EB at the partner booth of the Microsoft Automotive Business Unit, booth 11-414 in Hall 11.0, at the "embedded world" trade show at Nuremberg on March 3-5 and experience a demonstration of EB's fully integrated street director navigation solution with Live Search for Devices (LS4D).
