Total Parts Plus Releases Data Center on CMP Media Electronics Group Sites
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., March 7 -- Total Parts Plus (TPP), a leading provider of obsolescence and environmental compliance solutions, today announced the release of the Total Parts Plus Data Center on three of CMP Media's Electronics Group Web sites. The Data Center gives quick and affordable part information such as datasheets, PCNs, RoHS compliance information, full material disclosure, and reflow temperatures.
Total Parts Plus is offering a free trial of the Data Center for visitors of CMP's largest websites; guests can simply click on the banners on EE Times Online ( http://www.eetimes.com/ ), http://www.my-esm.com/ , or http://www.embedded.com/ to get started. After the free trial, unlimited access to information starts at just $39.99. "There are a lot of smaller companies out there that haven't been able to collect RoHS information because they simply aren't staffed to do the research themselves," said Todd Montgomery, Vice President and General Manager of Total Parts Plus. "The Data Center provides these companies an affordable way to gather all of this documentation."
Companies that need compliance information can get instant access to the Data Center via credit card.
"As the RoHS deadline approaches, we're finding that many companies are struggling to get compliancy data as quickly as possible," said Bob Dumas, publisher of Electronics Supply & Manufacturing. "The Data Center is an efficient and convenient way for companies to start gathering their compliancy information."
Total Parts Plus established material content management services two and half years ago. Since then, TPP has provided customized solutions for companies faced with RoHS and WEEE restrictions. With the introduction of the Data Center, smaller OEMs will have an affordable way to access compliancy information. "The goal is to give any company that needs to be compliant the tools to gather the information as quickly as possible," said Montgomery.
