Intel is one of the Biggest Company

Intel Company is one of the Biggest company in manufacture of computer prouducts. Intel Corporation is an American global technology company and the world's largest semiconductor chip maker, based on revenue. It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Intel was founded on July 18, 1968, as Integrated Electronics Corporation (though a common misconception is that "Intel" is from the word intelligence) and is based in Santa Clara, California, USA. Intel also makes motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing. Founded by semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore and widely associated with the executive leadership and vision of Andrew Grove, Intel combines advanced chip design capability with a leading-edge manufacturing capability. Originally known primarily to engineers and technologists, Intel's "Intel Inside" advertising campaign of the 1990s made it and its Pentium processor household names.

Intel was an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips, and this represented the majority of its business until 1981. While Intel created the first commercial microprocessor chip in 1971, it was not until the success of the personal computer (PC) that this became their primary business. During the 1990s, Intel invested heavily in new microprocessor designs fostering the rapid growth of the computer industry. During this period Intel became the dominant supplier of microprocessors for PCs, and was known for aggressive and sometimes controversial tactics in defense of its market position, particularly against AMD, as well as a struggle with Microsoft for control over the direction of the PC industry. The 2010 rankings of the world's 100 most powerful brands published by Millward Brown Optimor showed the company's brand value at number 48. I like Intel. Thank you.

Company Overview of Cignex:


The CIGNEX was created by a team of entrepreneurs dedicated to Making Open Source Work for for Enterprises.

CIGNEX was founded in Santa Clara, CA in 2000. They will helped enterprises migrate to open source technologies across Enterprise Content Management, Portals & Social Collaboration, e-commerce, Business Intelligence and ERP through a proven open source adoption methodology. By combining best practices from over 200 successful engagements with the shared knowledge derived from a combined 200 years of consulting experience in the management team, Cignex've developed a powerful, flexible approach to building and deploying Enterprise solutions based on open source technologies.

With the increasing adoption of open source technologies globally, CIGNEX identified the need to extend its offerings to

With the above objectives in mind, CIGNEX has gone through the following two mergers to form CIGNEX Holding Corporation (CHC).

  • Apar Technologies, a specialist IT Professional Services and Consulting organisation, in 2008.
  • AGS Technologies, an SAP, Oracle and Open Source ERP Consulting organisation providing end-to-end Implementations, Integration, Migration, Optimisation, Maintenance & Support services, in 2010. Each of the management team members of AGS has over 20 years of experience in ERP.
