We provide a broad range of professional services including contract systems R&D, high-level consulting, software development and training. We are currently investigating extending our use and support of Objective Caml to include commercial support for users of the system. This will provide a number of services: - industrial strength proprietary software development using Objective Caml - training and proof of concept pathfinder projects - long term supported Objective Caml distribution with additional libraries and extended Windows support - implementation and contribution of features such as improved 64 bit code generation, vectorization and Windows support - crisis support for urgent bugs in custom code, distribution or libraries We consider our relationship with INRIA and the greater community to be vital. Our contributions will have copyright assigned to INRIA where the Caml team would like to include the code in their distribution. While not every change will make it into the standard distribution in this manner, our distribution will differ only where necessary to provide requested features or pending changes to the standard version. We expect that this will include, for example, extended Windows support, which INRIA will not be pursuing. We would be grateful for serious expressions of interest by email to us directly so that we can gauge the practical market for this support, and are happy to answer initial inquiries off-list. We look forward to working with you. Regards, Fermin Reig, for the xrnd team.
