Cygnus Support, founded in 1989, provides commercial support for free software. Why free software? Free software is fast, powerful, and more portable than its proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive support.
The problem with free software has always been that your company's programmers and engineers had to spend time maintaining the tools as well as using them, which tied up company resources. Cygnus frees up those resources by supplying products and services which allow you to use state-of-the-art tools without the problems of maintenance. You can now choose to use free software and get the advantages of powerful and prompt support, combining the best of both. We provide up-to-the minute releases, for those who need the very latest version.
Our team of experienced engineers include the leading architects for
G++,
GDB, and
GAS.
We develop and use PRMS
(known to the Net as GNATS), the most comprehensive
bug-reporting and tracking software in the business.
Cygnus makes sure that our customers' problems get solved the right way. No grungy little programs, no klugey fixes that don't generalize, no work-arounds that end up being features instead of temporary situations. If you have a problem, you get in touch with the developers of the software, not an intermediary.
Because all our improvements are also free software, you can distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers, without extra cost. No unwieldy licenses to manage, and no worries about buying extra copies.
