Phoenix Technologies Ltd is an American company that designs, develops and supports core system software for personal computers and other computing devices. The company's products – commonly referred to as BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or firmware – support and enable the compatibility, connectivity, security and management of the various components and technologies used in such devices. Phoenix Technologies and IBM developed the El Torito standard.
Phoenix was incorporated in Massachusetts in September 1979, and its headquarters are in Campbell, California.
Phoenix sells its products primarily to computer and component device manufacturers. The company also provides training, consulting, maintenance and engineering services to its customers.
Phoenix also designs, develops and supports software products and services for PCs and mobile devices, intended to enhance device utility, reliability and security.
Although the consumers of these products and services are enterprises, governments, service providers and individuals, Phoenix typically licenses these products to original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers for resale to end-users.
Phoenix competes for sales primarily with in-house research and development (R&D) departments of PC and component manufacturers such as Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Toshiba Corporation, Apple Inc., and Intel. Phoenix also competes for sales with other independent suppliers, including American Megatrends Inc., a privately held U.S. company, and Insyde Software Corp., a public company based and listed in Taiwan.
