You’re here for knowledge. We’re here to help you.
Maybe you’re looking to expand the number of electronics solutions providers your company is working with currently. Or maybe you want to validate your decisions. Or you’re looking to switch providers because your current provider is not meeting your expectations. Or you’re just starting your outsourcing journey.
Choosing proper electronics solutions providers is key to your career success and the success of your company.
So many questions and decisions: Do technical capabilities a provider claims to have reflect actual provider capabilities? Which providers have strong program management processes in place? What are other customers saying about the provider’s responsiveness to customer concerns after the deal is signed? What is the character of the provider executive management team? Are they flexible?

So many risks: stress, time and money, reputation, worry. What if the provider(s) selected cannot deliver on their promises? Is the information gathered comprehensive? Will one person be accountable for the provider selection decision or is decision-making by committee? Is enough information gathered for good decision-making with resentment later?
We’re committed to acting in the best interest of the electronics OEM decision maker. To help you gather good information, expand your options and make more informed decisions that can make you more productive and possibly save you valuable time and money when seeking contract electronics services. Along this journey we want to help some of your provider sourcing decisions to be a little bit easier by enhancing your knowledge.
The desire to increase efficiency in OEM supply chains will continue to pressure component lead times and inventory levels, thus putting more pressure on OEM decision makers. Add to this electronics providers are being challenged to keep pace providing new value to OEMs as alternative solutions service providers surface and are increasing competition in the marketplace.
