Q:
What gap in the market does Java Partner Engineering address?
A:
Java Partner Engineering offers two groups of services designed to provide the appropriate assistance for every stage of a customer's development cycle. While Engineering Services assists customers from architecture and design through deployment, Licensee Services helps customers in the Technology Compatibility Kit certification process and provides ongoing Java technology support.

Customers are increasingly faced with extreme time-to-market pressures and are not able to ramp up their engineering staff to do the design and development quickly enough. Java Partner Engineering is able to provide the customer with both the architectural design for their products going forward and the development talent needed to deliver the right end-to-end solution for their products and services. Additionally, Sun provides professional project management throughout the project.
