Phoenix, AZ. September 12, 2006. DDC-I, a leading supplier of development tools for safety-critical applications, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The anniversary marks 20 years of ongoing success and innovation, and comes as DDC-I puts the finishing touches on a record 2006, in which the company expects to grow revenues by 25% and expand its workforce by an additional 35%.
“2006 has been a banner year,” said Bob Morris, president and CEO of DDC-I. “We’re profitable, revenue growth is accelerating, and we are expanding our engineering and sales workforce. Moving forward, we will continue to increase our market share in the defense and aerospace industries. Meanwhile, we will leverage our safety-critical expertise in a variety of new industries requiring safety-critical technology, including industrial control, nuclear power, medical equipment, and transportation.”
DDC-I (www.ddci.com/corporate.php)was founded in 1986 as a leading supplier of Ada compilers for worldwide defense applications. Throughout its 20-year history, the company has pioneered the development of advanced Ada, C, Embedded C++ compilers, debuggers, IDEs (integrated development environments) and other software tools for safety-critical aerospace and defense applications. DDC-I introduced the first real-time Ada debugger, the first validated 1750A Ada compiler, the first FAA-certified multitasking run-time system, the first ANDF (Architecture Neutral Distribution Format) Ada 95 compiler, and the first compiler to pass ACATS 2.2 (Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite).
“DDC-I will continue to offer the industry’s most advanced compiler and IDE technology for safety-critical applications,” added Morris. “In addition, we will be working with industry groups to develop next-generation technology such as safety-critical versions of contemporary languages like Java. We will also be working with industry groups such as the Eclipse community to offer plug-and-play frameworks that make it easy for safety-critical developers to combine our best-of-breed IDE with top-notch tools from other vendors.”
DDC-I will also continue to enhance its safety-critical professional service capabilities. With an emphasis on total life-cycle support, DDC-I now offers a full range of professional services, including training, porting, BSP development, system integration, software migration across multiple languages and tools, and FAA certification for DO-178B Level A, the highest level of safety criticality.
