Bitwise is a privately owned services business. We’ve been established for over 20 years
and we specialise in embedded software and application software development. And we have
an extremely capable and experienced team. We also have unique software tools and processes,
tools we’ve developed ourselves, and this helps our customer’s deliver products to
the market on time. Bitwise works as an extension to the customer’s Rand D team, it can accelerate
skills and the whole focus is to accelerate that product to market. The software is used
in a variety of ways. It could be managing a mobile phone network or assisting with energy
exploration or indeed as part of a medical device or patient record system. Many of the
applications of the software are safety critical so its essential that the quality is high
and that we are working to key standards within these sectors. Our customer base is very varied.
We have customers in the UK, throughout Europe, in the US and really it’s a who’s who
of leading companies in the world but we’re always looking for more customers to add.
Bitwise is headquartered in Scotland. We have over 50 engineers based in Scotland as our
Team here. We also have teams in other sites in the UK, in the Netherlands, Sweden and
Estonia. Scotland has excellent Universities and a
superb engineering base. The Engineers in Scotland are very experienced, well educated.
Often they have been trained by Multi Nationals with a local presence. Without being able
to recruit very high calibre engineers locally, we wouldn’t be providing the unique services
that we do. Scotland is an excellent place to be based.
It’s a great place to either come and find suppliers or to set up a new team. The lifestyle’s
very good. It’s a nice place to live. There are a lot of attractions in terms of space,
quality of life, amenities in the main cities if you look at the central Scotland plus all
the tourist destinations, such as Golf at St Andrews so there is a lot on offer.
