Working with RidgeRun: Initial Consultation
Before choosing the appropriate service model, RidgeRun will set up an initial consultation to discuss your needs. At that time, we’ll determine the best model for obtaining engineering services moving forward.
Hourly Engineering Contracts
For single project efforts, RidgeRun offers Professional Support Hours. With this model, our engineers work on your project as an extension of your engineering team. You provide the requirements, you control the task list, and you set the priorities; all of which you can change at any time.
*Note that our minimum initial support hour requirements begin at 41 hours for new customers
Dedicated Engineering Services Team
For long-term multi-project efforts or long-term support, RidgeRun offers dedicated engineering services. With this model, RidgeRun works with you to staff full-time embedded engineers who are dedicated to your business, and you are responsible for overall project management.
Platform Partnerships
