Training or consulting?

In partnership with Amarula Solutions, I was in discussion with an Italian company, Novavision. Moving to a new hardware platform, they wanted to take the opportunity to gain ownership of the tools that are used to build their products, here Yocto, instead of subcontracting this part of system development as they did previously.

Their first idea was to order our Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded training course. However, facing project deadline pressure, they also wondered whether consulting wouldn’t be a better choice to get their new project started in an efficient way. However, they didn’t want to fall back to subcontracting what they want to learn. That’s how the idea of a hybrid solution came up: consulting and training at the same time!
