DfR Solutions and A.T.E. Solutions Announce Alliance
COLLEGE PARK, MD, December 12, 2007
DfR Solutions and A.T.E. Solutions (ATESI) have developed an alliance to provide customers with a complete Design for Reliability (DFR) and Design for Testability (DFT) Solution.
“Both DfR Solutions and A.T.E. Solutions have seen an increasing interplay between the needs for testing and reliability services,” said Dr. Craig Hillman, CEO of DfR Solutions. “As a result, our customers are asking for a comprehensive design solution. Our partnership with ATESI will provide this complete solution, with ATESI providing DFT services and DfR Solutions providing DFR, design for manufacturing, and design for sourcing services.”
“For more than three decades, we have been advocates of solving test-related problems at the earliest possible stage by involving design in the solution through DFT,” said Louis Y. Ungar, president of A.T.E. Solutions. “Certainly other issues, such as reliability and manufacturability are closely related, and through this partnership, we will be able to provide a single-source solution to designers that will greatly impact life-cycle costs.”
