At LiveWires, we can find you a team of good LabVIEW programmers if that’s what you want,  However, there are some downsides with throwing numbers of developers at a project, and as a result, we normally supply a single very experienced and productive developer, Tim Fellows.

Other companies bring together less experienced programmers (we could call such a company a “LabVIEW agency”!). Here is a little story to illustrate this.

Here is a scenario we are probably all familiar with.  This story had a happy ending!

Here at LiveWires, we used to have a rented property and for two and a half years, we had problems with the fridge.  It was an expensive fridge but ice was building up at the back and every six weeks or so, I would have to hack out a large bowl full of the stuff.  This meant emptying food, getting on my knees and using a knife and hairdryer to get the ice out bit by bit. The rental agent sent an appliance specialist to try to fix the problem.
