Embarcadero closes down their spanish R&D office putting some 80 people on the street and diminishing the total Delphi R&D team.
Former Chief Scientist Allen Bauer commented:
The Spain office had taken on most of the IDE, Delphi RTL, GetIT, Installer, some DB, Bluetooth components, IoT, QA, and other miscellaneous tasks. They were by-far the largest single group working on RAD Studio. They were all a wonderful, dedicated, excited group of folks. They were eager to learn and truly enjoyed their jobs. I am deeply saddened by this development.
