John:
I agree with Steve that SiSoft is an excellent place to start. Have one
of their SI expert make a presentation to your key staff on SI support
to your organization.
There is nothing easy about making embedded microcontrollers functional
at high speeds in hostile environments. It takes considerable talent in
benign environments. SI tools are very powerful but have a steep
learning curve. Using consultants such as SiSoft will not only get you
to market faster it will be cheaper than the tools.
We have all the tools and still use key consultants when necessary.
I do SI here at Lockheed martin in San Jose.

John, your first problem seems to be one of education of your
management. SiSoft's web-site should be useful to you for that.
Good luck,
Steve.
