About Tara Systems
Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, TARA Systems GmbH operates as a specialized software company focused on the embedded systems market. The firm provides software components, tools, and services for a diverse client base across the consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, and mobile device sectors. For more than three decades, the company has concentrated on developing solutions for digital TV reception and creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
The company's business model is centered on licensing its software products and providing expert services, including GUI development, user experience design, and systems integration. TARA Systems serves a global clientele, and its software is embedded in several hundred million products. The company's revenue is generated through these licensing and service agreements, targeting businesses that require specialized embedded software to enhance their products' user experience and functionality.
TARA Systems offers two primary product families. The 'Inaris' product line provides a comprehensive software solution for TV operators, supporting set-top boxes and TV apps. It enables media playback from various sources like OTT, IPTV, and DVB, and includes features such as Teletext and HbbTV. The second key offering is 'Embedded Wizard', an award-winning GUI development tool. This technology allows developers to create platform-independent, high-performance graphical user interfaces, even on resource-constrained microcontrollers. Embedded Wizard is designed to shorten time-to-market and includes a WYSIWYG editor, prototyping tools, and full-featured libraries for effects, animations, and vector graphics.
The management team consists of long-standing members with deep industry experience. Alexander Wass joined the company in 1992 and has served as managing director since 1999, having previously worked as a software engineer and project manager within the firm. This long tenure of the leadership team underscores the company's stability and focused technical expertise in the embedded systems domain.
