ccs

CCS, Inc. is a leading supplier of embedded software and hardware development tools for Microchip microcontrollers and DSCs. Put simply, it is about managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. They also list Consulting, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

ccs is based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. More on ccsinfo.com.

Before you commit, look at response SLAs, onboarding, and what is billed per hour. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with ccs, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
