FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.--Sept. 16, 2002--Integration of Total Parts Plus Obsolescence Data into SpinCircuit's
Solutions Merges Dynamic Component Lifecycle Information with End
User's Internal Data Privately and Securely
Total Parts Plus, an online component obsolescence management company, is pleased to announce a new partnership with SpinCircuit, a leading provider of supply chain solutions that reduce costs, increase volume discount, and speed time to volume production for companies designing and manufacturing electronic products. By incorporating Total Parts Plus product change notices (PCN) and End-of-Life (EOL) notifications database, SpinCircuit is able to dynamically deliver lifecycle information directly to end users, enhancing their private data to facilitate optimal component selection, use and procurement.
"The addition of Total Parts Plus obsolescence information to our solution offerings is a prime example of SpinCircuit's dedication to providing our customers with premium dynamic component information," said Adriaan Lightenberg, CEO, SpinCircuit. "By enhancing our customer's own data with accurate obsolescence data, they can better control costs, prevent unexpected redesigns, and avoid line stoppages."
SpinCircuit's Team Tools and Enterprise solutions merge internal data sources with external, privately and securely, providing users with a 360-degree view of all component information. By integrating Total Parts Plus obsolescence information into SpinCircuit's solutions, dynamic product change notices (PCN) and End-of-Life (EOL) notifications can be analyzed and accessed directly from within schematic capture tools and bills of materials. This access allows selection of components with certainty, at the earliest stage of the new product introduction process. It further ensures fewer redesigns, easier cost management, and importantly, sourcing savings and reduction of time.
"We are very excited with our new partnership with SpinCircuit. We have been very interested in working with an integration partner who could take our PCN/PDN information and integrate it with our customer's systems behind their firewall," said Jeff Arnett, Vice President, Total Parts Plus. "SpinCircuit demonstrated solutions that fulfill this requirement, and provide users with the ability to maximize the value of our obsolescence data at the earliest possible opportunity."
