Corporate Strategy

Genesi customers’ needs are ever-changing. Genesi understands the value of looking toward - and keeping pace with - the future. To help ensure we meet our customers’ needs today and tomorrow, Genesi invests in state-of-the-art technology development in advance of its first commercial use.


Development Approach

Genesi provides technology that is ready-for-market, enabling our customers to focus on their customers. Through an extensive requirements investigation, we work with our customers to define a product and/or family of products. Once a product has been defined, Genesi provides a software framework to its customers that remains standard from conception to succeeding generations of the underlying technology. This approach speeds product development and shortens time-to-market.

Through an iterative method we refine and optimize our system designs. We prototype our products to establish a manufacturing process and consistent quality. Once the process is documented it can be monitored, managed and improvements can be identified. Our detailed product documentation package also assists in error avoidance, continuity through personnel changes, and compliance to required standards.

We design testability and optimization options into our solutions that are used to validate system requirements upon manufacturing and enable support once our solutions are in use. These capabilities can also be used to empower performance or security upgrades, monitor and/or collect data about the products themselves or the environment in which they function, and add new capabilities. As technologies evolve or emerge, our solutions are designed to incorporate change as a feature.

Genesi solutions are found in both the embedded and consumer markets, and in use today throughout the world.
