Research Triangle Park gets Unix expertise from South Florida

Salient Software Solutions, Inc. Provides Unique Unix expertise to RTP Firm

Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 17, 2001 – A Fortune 500 technology company located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina found itself in need of a Unix heavy lifter. After searching for talent for months, they found what they needed at Salient Software Solutions, Inc.

The qualifications they required were hard to come by. They needed an engineer well versed in Unix kernels, in parallel processing, in advanced file systems, and in clustering. These are some of the more difficult areas of software development that require experience beyond what is available through training.

Salient was able to provide the needed expert. The engineers at Salient are no strangers to difficult problems. Most of them have experience from Encore Computer Corporation, known for pushing the envelope with innovative software. Salient is a spin-off from Sun Microsystems, where their engineers get exposure to the exacting standards of developing software for the rigorous enterprise environment.

The client in RTP has been well pleased with the work done by Salient. Salient quickly came up to speed on the technology and found hidden problems that averted a major problem at a customer site.

"We are pleased that high tech companies in other states are coming to South Florida for talent," said Gary Croucher, CEO of Salient. "There is a lot of strong ability here, and there is no point in keeping it a secret."
