Hi Mike,
Thanks for all the suggestions you made, we will certainly have a look
at the URL's you mentioned.
Best regards,

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
