ARM Active Assist provides a set of targeted on and off-site team assistance packages designed to accelerate the adoption
of ARM expertise, get teams designing faster and communicating more effectively, reduce design iteration, and help build confidence
in final designs.
The customized deployment services offered within the Active Assist service can be acquired in distinct service packages tailored
to meet different project demands. These packages range from complete front-to-back project assistance from team set-up through
architectural specification and design sign-off, to one-off engagements including assessment of project set-up, architectural
design review, or on-site help with prototype board bring-up.
