CAN I COUNT ON AEGIS TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT AND EVOLVE THE PRODUCTS FOR THE LONG TERM?

Aegis is a debt-free, profitable company and has been since inception. Even during the difficult times the electronics industry encountered, Aegis did not downsize, as it has always operated efficiently.  Aegis services over 450 customers and 30 machine vendor partners which provide it a strong consistent business basis for operations. Perhaps your strongest evidence of long term growth is Aegis' consistent awards particularly in the customer satisfaction area. A large customer base that is very satisfied gives the company powerful momentum.

HOW DO AEGIS SOLUTIONS DELIVER TRULY
LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP?

The cost of a software system goes well beyond the initial purchase price. Aegis offers greater value on many fronts. First, deployment speed is typically faster than competitive systems, getting you to ROI more quickly. Then there is the usability. Aegis is renowned for ease of use, and therefore recurring training costs and delays incurred by training are eliminated. Then there is the software technology itself. Aegis centralized systems and web-clients reduce IT costs tremendously from hardware and IT services overhead perspectives. Finally, Aegis service and upgrade contracts are the most cost effective in the industry.

I WANT MY SOFTWARE VENDOR TO BE A GOOD BUSINESS PARTNER. WHY WOULD I CHOOSE AEGIS FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE?

Put most simply, you can trust Aegis because it has an untarnished history of keeping commitments to customers and partners. Deliveries of promised technologies are on time, the product roadmap continues to unfold as promised, and our sales efforts to not overstate the abilities of the system. Aegis asks that you form your own opinion by simply speaking to our competitors' customers, then speak with the many Aegis customers who have chosen to move from our competitors systems to Aegis and have both perspectives.

AS A BUSINESS, HOW IS AEGIS BEST SUITED TO PROGRAM AND MONITOR MY MACHINES?

Programming and monitoring machines requires ongoing engineering to improve and adapt to the changes made by machine vendor over time. Aegis maintains more than 30 contractual relationships with process, inspection, and assembly machine vendors. About 6 times more than any competitor ever achieved even at the height of their partnership programs. These relationships allow Aegis to create exclusive technologies such as today's xLink monitoring systems, which other vendors simply cannot deliver.
