- 35. The Eurotech Unique Value Proposition External Voices…. Gartner / Cool Vendors in IT/OT Alignment Report “However, they should also favor providers, such as Eurotech, that offer open-standards- based platforms, and can support on-premises deployment models to minimize vendor lock-in issues and maintain strategic agility.” Eclipse Foundation / M. Milinkovich “I just got the full Eclipse Kura demo and I was blown away. Very cool stuff.” VDC Research Group “With two decades of embedded/M2M experience, existing capabilities, and investments, we expect Eurotech to differentiate itself versus other traditional embedded board vendors as the company moves up the value chain.” Harbor Research, White Paper “Eurotech has organized a novel combination of tools and technologies that work together in unprecedented ways to solve more complex business problems than previous generations of intelligent device networking technology and enterprise applications have been able.”
