Daan,
There are only three serious, independent content aggregators of such
databases. They are Partminer (www.partminer.com, who by the way bought
CAPS/CAPSXpert from IHS a few years ago), I2 (www.i2.com), and Siliconexpert
(www.siliconexpert.com). All have searchable content, pdf datasheets,
parametric data, and all are integrateable, or should be, with internal
systems. Each also have their strengths and weaknesses. Some distributors
also have content but it's either a repackaging of data from one of these
three vendors or or self-managed and limited to their linecards - again,
strengths and weaknesses abound.
For conversion of customer BOMs, you probably also want to look in to
cleansing and part matching software/capabilities as well. Some of these
vendors (and others) have that, or their partners do.
Best Regards,
Mike Kirschner
