PHOENIX -- Global technology distributor Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT) has partnered with industry analysts to create and publish a series of technology videos on trends influencing the technology supply chain.
The videos, ranging from perspectives on semiconductor sales trends to market overviews, are designed to help engineers, resellers, OEMs and others in the technology supply chain do their jobs better. Videos on technology industry trends include interviews with analysts from Semico Research, as well as editors from leading industry trade publications. The first videos in the series to be published include:
"Believe It or Not, The Good Times Are Here!" with Jim Feldhan, president and CEO, Semico Research
After the economic meltdown in the fourth quarter 2008, expectations for the semiconductor industry fell to its lowest levels in history. Pessimism, on the other hand, rose to its highest level in history. 2009 proved to be a spectacular V-shaped recovery and we are headed for good times over the next 12 to 18 months.
Microcontroller Market overview 2010 with Tony Massimini, chief of technology, Semico Research
A concise but in-depth overview of the Microcontroller market. Information on end-user market trends, the competitive landscape for different categories of MCUs and pricing trends.
Software Tools for Embedded Processing with Jim Harrison, west coast editor, Electronics Products Magazine
A look at the latest trends in tools that aid software design for MCUs.
The technology industry trend videos complement the Tech Trends video series launched in May and are featured on the Technology Trends Channel of Avnet OnDemand. Together, the video series enhance Avnet's overall strategy to deliver a broad range of technology videos in one convenient place.
"Providing the information our customers need when they need it is one of the main benefits of Avnet OnDemand," said Avnet Chief Communications Officer Al Maag.
"Consolidating technology videos in one place makes it easy and convenient to access information quickly. This is an industry that moves, sometimes quite literally, at the speed of light, so anything we can do to get information in front of our customers faster ultimately helps them be more successful."
Avnet OnDemand is a technology video portal launched last year featuring a broad range of videos from Avnet and technology manufacturers covering new products, hot trends, services and technical tutorials - all in one place.
The video portal offers viewers a choice of component or computing channels, designed specifically to meet the needs of design engineers and value-added resellers. The portal aggregates technology videos into one convenient location so users don't have to search multiple sites to find information relevant to their needs. In addition to technical product information, the site provides training and general information videos.
Videos on the Avnet OnDemand site can be viewed from a desktop, laptop or smartphone. The site also offers streamlined navigation and a robust search capability so viewers can find information quickly based on supplier, technology or topics, such as healthcare or virtualization. There are also direct links to online buying to purchase featured products.
