Aledyne

Aledyne delivers LabVIEW programming and embedded systems solutions to small and medium sized businesses. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Data Center Automation, Embedded Systems and Mechanical Design, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Aledyne is based in San Jose, California. Their site is aledyne.com.
