Home of the Open-Source Ambassadors™

Tools Made Tough is an Embedded Engineering Project Consultancy Firm.

We stress project-wide training on open source software development tools.

Our team of professionals can assist any organization beginning or renewing development efforts with Linux as either a development or target environment.

We refer to our team members as Open-Source Ambassadors™.

Our company embodies a philosophy of helping people understand a new way of doing things or understanding a new environment. We work with open source software every day and believe any design team can benefit from knowing what is available as an open source tool and how to use it. Knowing what you can get for free allows you to spend your development dollars more wisely.
