Supporting Innovation is the key to success

Dear Reader

As we reflect on the global events of the last 12 months, very few of us are likely to describe 2008 as uneventful. Now, however, it is time to put 2008 behind us and consider how best to address the challenges that lie ahead in 2009.

For companies in the electronics sector, the key to success in even the most challenging market conditions lies in the ability to innovate. Innovation is fundamental to addressing evolving customer demands, creating and maintaining competitive advantage, matching costs to market expectations and keeping time-to-market windows as short as possible.

Arrow has always recognised the need to provide the products and technical resources needed to support its customers’ innovation and creativity. Indeed, one of our aims is to be the partner of choice not just for purchasers looking for a broad range of products but for the R&D departments and engineering project teams tasked with creating and delivering innovative ideas.

Key to supporting innovative design is the ability to offer the very latest on- and off-board technologies, from smaller, faster and more efficient semiconductors to advanced passive, e-mech and interconnection products. In addition, as design teams look to focus their efforts on their core competencies, they require their distribution partners to offer system-level solutions – solutions that they can quickly and easily integrate into a design to deliver the requisite performance and functionality with minimum design overhead. To address this demand, Arrow continues to expand its range of platform-level technologies including wireless modules, power supplies, single-board computers and displays.

But it’s not just about the technology. Support for innovation also requires dedicated technical and engineering resources – another area in which Arrow continues to invest. As a result, our customer- facing teams can help with every aspect of a design, from initial concept and selection, through design-in of components and solutions, to prototyping and final manufacture.

We look forward to supporting your design and manufacturing activities in 2009 and beyond. In the meantime, should you have any comments or queries on any of the stories covered in this, or other issues, of Arrow Innovation, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
