From time to time everyone needs advice. ANDs extensive range of research, consultancy & training services has been a trusted professional resource for dynamic entrepreneurs through to long established corporate multinationals alike for many years. Ever developing to keep up with the pace of technology change, AND aims to assist clients with the best expert knowledge & technical advice directly when & where it is needed.

If you are lucky, technical research happily 'simmers' away in your organisation; but for most, it has to be proactively & constantly monitored, taking into account history, the present & the perceived future…a significant demand.

ANDs services have been specifically developed to meet our clients' research & innovation needs at various levels, from generating 'Blue Sky' concepts through to product specific breakthroughs by innovatively applying technology.

Looking for a different or alternative way of solving a problem, searching for technology to fit a product requirement? We can help.

Intellectual property (IP)

In addition to a raft of technical & development services AND has invested in an extensive portfolio of IP solutions. This does not just include off-the-shelf solutions from our own internal library of IP (although this is available to rapidly help reduce time to market for our clients projects) but expertise in identifying owned IP, searching for new IP, developing new IP & importantly information on how to protect your valuable knowledge assets.

Product testing audits & reviews

With many years development experience in both embedded electronics & software, AND has an in-depth insight into the way technology operates in the real world. Not only do we apply this knowledge to deliver robust development & testing for our clients in-house projects, but also offer this as a consultancy service to your newly inherited, in-house or 3rd party developed products.

Offering professional, impartial & independent testing of new products or reviews of existing products/designs, AND have a suite of audit & review services backed up with comprehensive reports to help diagnose that unforeseen & difficult to identify bug, check that a design is fit for purpose or simply provide peace of mind through independent testing of a product that it is going to operate in the way you wish.

Evaluation & valuation of technology

What have you got & what is it worth? These are important questions to most business owners. Techniques & tools for managing & valuing technology are available from AND - essential if you are seeking 3rd party/VC funding for a new project, or indeed when you may have inherited a product or suite of technologies from a recent acquisition or buyout.

Training

Technology transfer is an essential part of our business. Our projects are your products & it is vital that our clients can feel comfortable with all aspects of the work we have undertaken. Formal training courses & informal technology transfer sessions are both available as part of our after-sales service.

AND also offer a series of general training seminars covering numerous aspects of product design & embedded development that can be delivered either as in-house training for your team or used as a slot in a seminar series you are planning to host.
