ABOUT US

Lynx Software Technologies, an OceanSound Partners portfolio company, aims to improve the economics of developing, deploying, and maintaining high-assurance Mission Critical Edge platforms with modular software solutions based on open standards. Our proven technology leadership, extensive system certification expertise, and commitment to open standards have consistently saved our customers millions in development costs while delivering desired system performance, security, and reliability on schedule. Lynx is committed to enabling customers to build and manage orchestrated, cloud-connected platforms that harness various modern technologies and unique design methodologies to help accurate, deterministic decisions at the Mission Critical Edge without compromising safety or cybersecurity requirements.

 

 

CUSTOMER ADVOCACY

There is a tremendous amount at stake when procuring software platforms. Functionality, performance, compliance, sustainment, reuse, license restrictions, and transitive OEM license costs must all be considered, making it tremendously difficult to determine whether a platform can meet your project goals. Complexity abounds from CPU architecture to firmware, I/O services, standard APIs, and certification evidence. Customers designing embedded projects often agree to contracts before realizing that not all design and legal challenges have been effectively resolved.

Many projects have gaps, and it is far too familiar for vendors to unwittingly or disingenuously sell standard products that do not satisfy the customer's real project goals—the larger the project, the more gaps exist (which often require collaborative efforts to solve, including partners). Suppose vendors do not diligently study the needs of their customers and fail to provide precise and honest guidance. In that case, customers can quickly, unknowingly inherit a daunting amount of liability via a simple off-the-shelf license contract.

THE LYNX PROMISE

It is critical to us that we understand your specific goals, target environments, and unique design challenges. We promise to be transparent—to be forthcoming about technical gaps and to only provide recommendations that have been thoroughly verified. We have zero interest in creating added challenges for our customers through dishonest and/or haphazard business practices and will work tirelessly to deliver unparalleled lifetime value at fair and competitive cost.

 

OUR VISION

We believe in a “software-defined anything” world where customers are empowered by trusted and committed partners to overcome the status quo of unaccountable vendors and to innovate at the speed they need to face emerging threats and challenges in a dynamic, unpredictable environment.
 
WORKING AT LYNX

OUR VALUES

Our Values speak to what we collectively believe, are committed to, and what we will and will not tolerate as acceptable behavior from each other. Lynx holds these six values above all others:
performance (4)

Continuous Improvement

We strive to make this company better every day. This includes each of us, as we are the team. We seek continuous improvement in all aspects of ourselves and the business.

hand-shake

Unwavering Loyalty

Lynx is committed to supporting governments and companies that support the United States of America and its global allies. Our technology and products provide strategic and operational advantages to the US and its partners, and we are committed to ensuring that our products and services do not fall into the hands of governments or interest groups at odds with the US and its allies.

winner

Trust

We pledge steadfast collaboration with partners, cultivating relationships grounded in shared integrity. Prioritizing customer trust, we guarantee consistent quality and reliability. Internally, trust is pivotal among employees, fostering respect and open dialogue. Ultimately, trust is not just a virtue but a commitment to forming the cohesive foundation for the flourishing success of the Lynx team.

planning

Sustainable Planning

We believe that every short-term decision is also a long-term decision. The distinction between short- and long-term decisions needs to be more clear. If a short-term decision does not connect to a long-term plan, that is because the implicit decision is not to have a long-term plan. Any plan worth doing incorporates long-term and short-term plans as two sides of the same coin.

promotion

Make Today's Users Tomorrow's Evangelists

We strive for a customer experience that makes our users our best advertisements. We must love our solutions so much that we can use any we have for our customers. If we are not impressed by our products, our customers will not be.

cohesion

Inclusiveness

Lynx is committing to including people of all varieties who are capable and motivated to push Lynx’s mission forward. This extends to all business operations – including recruitment and retention activities.
