May 6, 2005 - SofTec Microsystems unveils the revolutionary Tools & More Support Program, an exciting new marketing initiative, allowing both Silicon Distributors and End-User Customers to benefit from high-quality tools, qualified technical support and discounts on online purchases.

The core of the Tools & More Support Program (currently available for Freescale microcontrollers) is the Tools & More Solution Finder, a precious guide which provides complete, up-to-date information about Freescale HC08, HCS08, HCS12 and HCS12X Flash devices. Each derivative is listed along with its main features and all the evaluation, development and programming solutions available from SofTec Microsystems.

Silicon Distributors only have to hand Tools & More Solution Finders to their potential customers, who can then quickly and easily find the right tool for their needs and order directly from SofTec Microsystems website. The tools are shipped directly from SofTec Microsystems warehouse to end-user customers and, if in need of technical support, end-user customers have a dedicated phone line and mailbox reserved just for them.

With the Tools & More Support Program, Technical Support isn't just limited to SofTec Microsystems products, but extended globally to Freescale Microcontrollers and Codewarrior Development Studio. Our Technical Support team is available to every end-user, for everything from low-level general troubleshooting to high-level specific application issues.

End-User Customers: contact your nearest Silicon Distributor for further information on the Tools & More Support Program and how to receive your exclusive Customer Support Card, and start taking advantage of reserved technical support and tool discounts.
