Custom API Generation

Do you have a job where you need an API for one or two ASN.1 specifications but would have little use for the compiler after that? Then let us generate the API for you. We will provide generated source code, the base run-time libraries and sample programs to get you started in using the API. You save the cost of the compiler and instead pay for a few hours of our time. And the generated API comes with the same support and warranties as the full product.

What you pay for:
	Base run-time libraries (per node, unlimited redistribution, or source code form)
	Our time in generating API's and sample programs (or a flat rate if it is a common API that we have done before)
What you get:
	Generated source code and run-time libraries
	Sample programs (reader and writer)
	Full support for twelve (12) months with extensions available

We also have preassembled packages available for some of the more common ASN.1 specifications. Please see our ASN.1 API's page for details on these.

Custom Software Programming

For more advanced applications, we offer custom programming services. This goes beyond the generation of a simple reader and writer into the development of a customized message-processing framework. Some examples of these types of applications are as follows:
	Highly optimized message-processing loops that allow large numbers of messages to be processed per second.
	File or database applications that can handle the formatting or parsing of huge ASN.1 messages on disk such as TAP3 billing records.
	Space optimized applications for embedded systems. We cut down the generated code and libraries to leave you with the minimum amount of code required. An example would be T.38 fax application.
	Multithreaded applications.

Training

We can provide training on ASN.1 and the use of our ASN.1 Compiler products at your place of business or ours. These two or three day courses can be customized to go in depth into the areas of ASN.1 that are of interest to your business. Some of the topics covered in previous courses we have done include the following:
	The Basic ASN.1 Types and Encoding using the various rules (BER, DER, and PER)
	Mappings of ASN.1 Types to C/C++ types and structures
	Extensibility and Constraints and how they affect PER encoding
	Information Objects and Parameterization
	Performance considerations when using compiler generated code
